Hull cemetery records - are they online anywhere - if not, where do we go?

[Blushing Rose]

Looking for the burial records for my OH's granddad who doesn't appear to be on any death registers anywhere (The Oh is currently looking for the death cert he's sure he's got).
The OH's dad had told him, years ago, where he was buried in Hull so I was wondering if there's a place on-line to go and look for him?
Unfortunately we can't ask the OH's dad as he sadly passed away last year which what's started this journey off.

Thanks!

For some reason we'd never thought that they'd been available at the library.
Would that also tell us plot numbers and how to find it?

The burial records should give you a plot number and either the library or cemetery/crematoria office should be able to help you locate a plot as they hold cemetery plot maps

Thanks....we'll probably go and take a look tomorrow, if we can, and take things from there.
This is just to close a door, really...

Not sure where you're intending to visit but please be aware that a lot of the Hull records are not available at the moment because they are preparing for the move into the new History Centre which is due to open in Hull centre in the autumn.

I know Hull Archives is closed and - I think - a lot of the records which were kept at the Hull Cenral Library are also in transit.

It might be as well to ring first.

I shall ring first, although they do have a lot of BMD stuff in the reference library atm although I will check first rather than making a trip and discovering they're not there!
I have also got phones numbers from the above link, so I should be able to get some leads from those too :-)

Hi

You can see the records at the crematorium on Chanterlands Avenue. You need to book, when I went last year you could only go on a Tuesday. However, its well worth booking. I discovered lots of unknown relatives who had slipped between the census records.

The staff are very helpful, they helped me with my research and provided me with maps of where the burial plots are.

I wrote to the crematorium on Chanterlands Avenue a couple of years back, as I live too far away to visit, and didn't even get an acknowledgement.  Is it worth trying again?  Will they do a search for people like me who can't get to Hull?
