Dense public spaces in Wellington are managed environments — private property with owner consent is usually simpler than an unpermitted park gathering. Climate band Tropical / Subtropical (inland-metro) still shapes outdoor timing. Inside Wellington metros, body-corporate rules, multifamily housing, and municipal park systems usually shape aftercare more than jurisdiction-wide statutes. In smaller Wellington towns, clinic referral plus hub transfer and municipal area vs. city rules are the practical constraints. Ask any provider whether cremation happens on-site, how pets are identified, and whether they can document chain of custody in writing.
If a public ceremony is denied, your indoor or private keepsake plan should already stand on its own.
