David was buried along side his Mother, Catherine and his Father, Henry, on Aug 9, 1879, in Symonds St Cemetery. ² But in the early 1960s the Roman Catholic and Anglican section of the cemetery was resumed for the construction of the Auckland Southern Motorway. More than 4,100 bodies were moved and re-interred into two memorial sites at the cemetery, and the land area was reduced by about a quarter. During the relocation, 2000 graves were found under 1200 headstones in the Anglican section, and 2100 graves under 400 headstones were found in the Catholic section.
None of the original headstones were retained.
