Title: Blakely cemetery manchester
Post by: Wilbo2k7 on Wednesday 15 April 09 23:59 BST (UK)

hi guys i really hope someone can help me with this. My girlfriends estranged dad died when she was young and she never went to the funeral and therefore never got to visit his grave etc, weve been to blakely cemetery a few times to look for her fathers grave but cant find it. i was just wandering if anyone knows of any phone numbers or websites or anything really that might be able to help us as i know the area i live in has a website that tells you exactly which plot people are buried in. please if anyone knows anything that might help us find his grave it would be a great help.

This websites never let me down yet so ive got every faith  ;) thanks in advance Mark and Melissa

Well if you have been to Blackley cemetery, You should have asked at the office there. They have all records of all burials in Manchester council owned cemeteries. They also have maps/plans to.If you need a phone number for them or anything ells try this web site.
