Cypress Street in the suburb of Linwood, Christchurch

Cypress Street – formerly Part of Kearneys Road Probably named because it is near the cypress trees in the Memorial Park Cemetery. The section of Kearneys Road running from Ruru Road to Rudds Road was renamed Cypress Street on 24 April 1963. First appears in street directories in 1966.
A wee bit of information from the library website and I won’t be looking for any more information as this seems like a reasonable explanation for the name. Mostly brick houses in good condition. Houses on one side and cemetery on the other side. I am not used to walking through such a modern cemetery.
