New Cumnock Cemetery

[aston34]

Hi,

i was wondering if anyone could give me some information on this cemetery.   Is it large/small/medium sized,   is it still open for burials?

Basically my gf is buried there,    and if its a tiny cemetery i was wondering if someone wouldnt mind having a look for his grave for me & taking a photograph.   

If its a large cemetery then of course i wouldnt expect someone to go searching for hours and id be happy to get in touch with the records place and get a plot location number.

Can anyone offer me any information on this site please.

Kind thanks

Aston

Hello Aston,


I am nowhere near New Cumnock but I have visited the cemetery.  It looks to be still in use and I would call it medium sized, with the number of graves in the hundreds.

There is a good photograph at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=12422592 (top photograph), and Google street view has a very good view.  Use 35 Afton Road as its location.


Regards,

John

thank you sporran,    god it gave me goose bumps seeing the last pic,  ive seen the top one before but i was like "Oh heck hes in there".

sounds like its quite a biggish cemetery   (sorry i live in the sticks so used to little cemeterys that you could photograph in an hour lol)

thanks ever so for them pics though,  much appreciated !
