Title: St Kentigern lair location
Post by: GMARS on Tuesday 01 October 24 20:35 BST (UK)

Evening everyone, i have only just joined this site so hopefully this post is in the correct place and not been asked 100's of times before.

We are trying to find the location of a friends father who was buried at St Kentigern in 2005 aged 43yrs.

We have the lair details:

section : 23
Lair No : 157
Certificate No : 39388

After 2hrs of searching we couldn't find the grave location, we suspect there is no headstone to mark the location.

Would anybody have a map or know of a headstone location in section 23 that we could use for reference to start searching from?

Thanks in advance
Graeme

You do know that the Western Necropolis, St Kentigerms and Lambhill Cemeteries are all in the one area. If possible you could ask the gravediggers, they are so helpful.
    If not then google St Kentigerns and a map comes up. Looks like section 23 is near to Balmore Road.

Sorry forgot to mention that the lair no is normally on the side of the gravestone. Might help narrow things down bit.

Thanks Mags

I'll go back up to the cemetery and see if I can find a number on any of the other headstones in section 23. Hopefully there is a gravedigger about that I can chat too.
