Hi everyone,

I'm trying to locate where my grandfather was buried.

Would anyone have any pointers as to how I do this please?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gill

Do you know where and when he died?
Contact local cemeteries - they will have records of who is buried there, and in which grave.

Also local crematoriums.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

If you know when he died and his name is not too common you may find it here

http://www.deceasedonline.com/

You can see names date of burial and where for free. but would need to purchase credits to find out anything else like age at death

Researching:
Nothing much
