Ive been trying the last week or so to find the final resting places of some of my rellies, apparently if you know where the death was registerd the registrar should be able to tell you where they were buried/ cremated there is a tear off bit on the death application form which has to go back to the registrar to be signed and it has the place of burial date etc. hope this is of some help kaz

i think it all depends on the office, ive rung ludlow this afternnoon, their burial records start from 1914, another i rang only went up to 1912 i think its a case of ringing the cemetary or the council and asking when their cemetary records started.

Thanks karen ... I always wondered what you did ... rather than wonder aimlessly around several cemeteries in the area!
