I don't think the Mitchell Library has any records for Riddrie Park, but You might want to ask anyway.
Also, if you know or can guess which funeral provider was involved, some of them keep their own records and may be willing to look them up for you. It depends how far back you are wanting to go.
For instance, I knew the lair number at Riddrie Park, but was unsure how many/who was in the grave. (No gravestone) I guessed that my family would probably have used the Co-operative Funeral Care (we are talking from 1940s to 1960s). Luckily, they did, and I got the detail I needed from them.
I don't think they would take kindly to being besieged by requests, but you could try contacting them and asking. They can only say 'no'!
