Title: Completed - Visiting Tomnahurich Cemetery?
Post by: Blue-Sten on Friday 25 January 08 21:04 GMT (UK)
Hello again!

If anyone happens to be in the area, or visiting Tomnahurich cemetery and can take a photo of a couple of graves, I would be very grateful.

They are at Class 6, Section C, Lairs 19 & 20.

They should be William Reid and Elizabeth Simpson Reid

and in the other, Donald MacKenzie Reid and Catherine Isobel Reid.

Thanks (it is a bit difficult for me to do it myself from Manchester!)

Fiona  :D

I've taken a note of this and will do it on Monday - weather permitting!

I am in the U.S. and have a grandfather buried at Tomnahurich.  How does one find out which section any specific grave is in?

Tomnahurich Office has been closed for quite some time and Tomnahurich is administered by the "new" Kilvean Crematorium/Cemetery,

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!  I haven't been in Inverness since the 1970s!  Does Kilvean have records as to where various graves are located?

Yes.

That is where I get my information on relatives.

Originally from Inverness, I have a lot of family buried there.  The staff are very helpful, on personal visits and by post.

I could not get a plan/leaflet/map of Tomnahurich layout.  I spoke to a  stonemason who was working on a headstone and had a book of plans and he pointed me in the  right direction!
