Hello Patricia
Percy Neame is buried in the Erskine's Private Cemetary at Mahau Sound in Marlborough, NZ. This has three graves in it and is on a property called "The Folly". I'm not sure if Sarah Emily Winifred Erskine Neame (his second wife) is also buried there, but her death was registered at Blenheim. William Erskine Neame (born 1912 and died Feb 26 1973) was buried at Mahau - His could be the third grave.I saw the three graves some years ago.
Yesterday I came upon some thing interesting by accident. There is a painting by McCann called "View from Mrs Neame's House at Mahau" done in 1940. The artist was going to discard it but his friend Toss Woollaston saved the picture and it is now in a private collection.
Hope this is of interest to you.
