Historical Searches
There is an upward trend for people trying to trace their
ancestors and many of their investigations can take place with
Bereavement Services.
All cremations and burials are recorded on computer and retained
forever. We have over 78,000 cremations, 125,000 burials and over
75,000 graves on record.
Bereavement Services can find information on the deceased so
long as we have the full name of the deceased and the actual date
of death (there is no charge for this search). If the actual date
of death is not known then we would require an approximate period
i.e. 1890's, 1930's etc. For this search a minimum charge of
£13.50 is required.
Information we can issue is as follows:
- Place of death
- Home address at the time of death
- Age at death
- Date of burial or cremation
- For burial the grave number if it was a purchased or
un-purchased grave, if purchased then details of whoever else is
buried there
- For a cremation what happened to the cremated remains i.e.
removed, buried in a grave, buried in the gardens of remembrance or
strewn in the woods
