Two memorials in the Ruru Lawn cemetery, Linwood. The first is an embossed brass plaque mounted on painted concrete plinth with flagpole. Set on octagonal concrete step base in centre of war grave section of cemetery. It records the names of Second World War servicemen whose 'remains were cremated and the ashes scattered'.
The other, which is nearby, is an oblong terrazzo covered concrete plinth with copper spire mounted in centre. A large brass plaque is mounted on the front face. This is a memorial to the men and women of the armed forces who died during the First and Second World Wars but to whom the fortunes of war denied a known grave. Their names are engraved on the plaque.
