That context turns a generic city page into an address-level plan: crossing, hold, custody, process, return, and place permission.

Auckland's municipal park system and any territorial-authority area/regional open-space district are separate authorities — get written approval from the specific city, territorial-authority area, state, or federal land manager before a ceremony. State/province note for Auckland: Public-land ash scattering in Auckland is controlled by the land manager. Get written permission before any ceremony in parks or on managed open space. Private property requires the owner's consent.
Dense public spaces in Auckland 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 Auckland metros, body-corporate or property rules, multifamily housing, and municipal park systems usually shape aftercare more than jurisdiction-wide statutes. In smaller Auckland towns, clinic referral plus hub transfer and territorial-authority 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.
