Hi ,

Deceased Online has records for the Western Cemetery Arbroath.

http://www.deceasedonline.com/

It's free to search but you will have to buy credits to access lair numbers and map location.

Example(this information is free) -
Caird , Agnes , died 13th Aug. 1894 , buried 15th Aug. 1894 Arbroath Western

Hi

I emailed Dundee Council asking if they could help with where my grandfather was buried, i gave them his name and date he died and they kindly sent me where he was buried, who else was buried with him and a map of the cemetery.

Arbroath isn't part of Dundee; it comes under Angus Council, and Angus Council has decided to put all its burial records on DeceasedOnline. Contacting Dundee Council with this particular query would be a waste of your time and theirs because Dundee Council does not have the information required.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

My point was to contact the relevant council and see if they can help, regardless if the burials are online, each council has to have the original copies.

Ah. I read you message as suggesting that Dundee Council would provide the information.

The point I have evidently failed to make is that Angus Council have passed the buck to Deceased Online, so there's not much point in contacting them - they'll just refer you back to Deceased Online.

Hi

Looked up deceasedonline - Grave Ref M/290

There are 5 in the plot altogether -  William Livingstone 1941
                                                    Livingstone  1901
                                                    Alexander Livingstone 1896
                                                    George Livingstone 1889
                                                    Agnes Coutts Livingstone 1889

You can get a map of the cemetery for 50 credits, a Scan of the Burial Register for 15 credits and the above information for 15 credits.
