Burial in Hull?
« on: Wednesday 26 November 08 14:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, need help again   ???  Just discovered that my dad may have been buried in Hull, I was always told that he was cremated and his ashes scattered, does anyone know how I can find out?
If anyone has access to the records, he died 08/08/1973 but there was an inquest that didn't end untill Nov 1973 so unsure when he would have been buried. His name was George Leonard Smith d.o.b 27/04/1946, he died in Hull infirmary.
Thank you

The coroner can authorise the burial before the inquest, but the death cannot be registered until after the inquest verdict.

Hi

Are there any older family members who may be able to help you with further details which could help to trace him

unfortunately not. I have had an email from hull council today stating that there is no record of
his burial so it looks as though it was a false lead. thanks though
