They cover from Register No. 1 to 14240. Form E provides the following information: register number, name, address, occupation, authorisation by medical referree and date, date cremated. The Wellington City Council form details how the cremated remains were disposed of and date. These forms are retained because full sets of forms do not exist for the period from 1909, when cremation began, to May 1955. After May 1955, full sets exist which include a copy of Form E. (The WCC Authority to Dispose of Cremated Remains is not a statutory form and there was therefore no requirement to retain it.)Quantity (Linear Metres)6MediumFileSystem of ArrangementCremation Register number order and date order.
