COMPLETED. Pickering Burial look up, please
« on: Monday 05 March 12 23:19 GMT (UK) »
Is it possible to find the location of the following

Mavis Pickering died 24th December 1937 born 1923
Thomas William Pickering died June 1948
Lillian Pickering died December 1947

They were buried together as I have the receipt for the plots when they were purchased.  They would be buried in Ashby Road Cemetry, Hinckley.

I also intend to contact the local council.

Many thanks

Nicola

Hi  Please find location plan below.

The Pickerings are buried in the second row of section 13, 6th or 7th grave from the right.  There are plenty of gravestones in that location so hopefully you will be lucky.

All the best

TB

Greeting’s Again. ……

Couple of tips. …….

Take a piece of white caulk with you
Put a small cross on the back of the headstones which you look at
That way you don’t get confused as which ones you have looked at. …….

Some stonemasons engrave the plot No’. on the headstone 
either on the back or one of the sides
At the bottom at ground level. ….
