This is typically a Maori or Islander custom rather than New Zealanders in general. Usually an unveiling is held a year after the burial and of course it is the unveiling of the headstone. I think it is a good custom. Apart from any other reason this is the end of the year of 'firsts' after the loss of a family member. The first birthday, Easter, Christmas, Anniversary, Grandchild, holiday etc without that person. That is rather a large milestone in the whole grieving process.
