Title: Burials.
Post by: hedwig06 on Friday 26 August 11 12:23 BST (UK)

Could someone tell me how to search for burials for my ancestors please.

They would have been buried between the period 1911-1963.

In the Ladywood area of Birmingham.

I have emailed the Central Library in Birmingham, but had no reply as of yet.

Is it stated on the death certificate or is it guess work and leg work looking around the cemetery its self?

Thanks Angi x

Hi,

It will not be on the death certificate but their address will be; you can then start your search at the nearest cemeteries.   The date of death, also on the certificate, will narrow down the searching of burial registers.

Could any of them have been cremated?

Thanks Nanny Jan,

I don't don't know if they would have been cremated, but I don't think so. 
Where would the burial registers be kept and how would I get access to them?
