I should like to see the original for an entry noted at =

Rc Organisation at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery,
Cheltenham,
Montgomery
Pennsylvania
USA

Any suggestion on how to find more info on this on a free site?

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1973236/holy-sepulchre-cemetery
is free.

Pennsylvania, Death Certificates, 1906-1966 is on Ancestry, but too early for your query.

Have you 'googled' the person's name? There might be an obituary.

Try emailing or writing to them. However, information is rarely free.

Thank you for your reply.

I found the following entry, so doesn't look as though there is a register of graves, or the burial, which is indexed... and my query isnt one of them...
........................................................................
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
4001 West Cheltenham Ave
Contact: PO Box 27544
Philadelphia, PA 19118-0452
(215) 247-0691

Lat: 40° 05' 10"N, Lon: 075° 10' 17"W

Cemetery was established in 1895 and is owned by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Hello

No I hadn't thought of approaching the church administration. I thought that some where it would be in the public domain.

But I shall have look around the web, there might be a local FHS who would advise - then if not , go to the top!

thanks for your interest. :-)
