Hi,
i was wondering if anyone could give me some information on this cemetery. Is it large/small/medium sized, is it still open for burials?
Basically my gf is buried there, and if its a tiny cemetery i was wondering if someone wouldnt mind having a look for his grave for me & taking a photograph.
If its a large cemetery then of course i wouldnt expect someone to go searching for hours and id be happy to get in touch with the records place and get a plot location number.
Can anyone offer me any information on this site please.
Kind thanks
Aston :)

Hello Aston,
I am nowhere near New Cumnock but I have visited the cemetery. It looks to be still in use and I would call it medium sized, with the number of graves in the hundreds.
There is a good photograph at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=12422592 (top photograph), and Google street view has a very good view. Use 35 Afton Road as its location.
Regards,
John
