Title: South Australian death record
Post by: Jang on Friday 30 May 25 04:39 BST (UK)

I found the following record on Ancestry and would love to know more information about Marjorie Brooks, whom I suspect was my aunt.

Name   Marjorie Brooks
Record Type   Cremation
Late Residence   Not Listed
Death Date   10 Apr. 2001
Burial Date   13 Aug. 2001
Cemetery   Centennial Park
Cemetery Location   Pasadena, South Australia, Australia
Burial Location   General/Path 19/1268

My aunt, Marjorie Brooks, nee Taylor, was born 1908 in Boulder WA. Parents Thomas Charles Taylor, Philomenta Vosti, married Alastair Frederick Gerald Brooks in 1959 in Perth. Alastair died in 1985 and is buried in Katoomba Cemetery NSW.

I can't order a death certificate because of the date. There is also a 4 month gap between the death and cremation dates, which seems unusual. I have sent a request to Centennial Park Cemetery.

Are there any other ways I can find out more information?

Thanks so much, cup of life, I can definitely rule this one out.
