Yew Tree Cemetery Liverpool

[bluegirl54]

Hello I'm new to this site, can anyone help me or advise me as to how I can locate my aunties grave please. I believe that my grandparents are in the same plot. All buried in Yew Tree, my auntie was Joan Johnston(e) and my grandparents were Martin & Margaret Handley. My auntie passed away 6th December 1965. I keep hitting a brick wall in my search. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Welcome to the forum. The online records for Yew Tree Cemetery end in September 1965 but the burial records for Martin and Margaret are below. You might be able to get the burial details for Joan by posting a request on this thread:-

Hi Blue70

Thank you so so much, I've just had a weeping 1/2 hr after reading this. It makes sense now that I haven't been able to trace my Aunties plot. We have recently lost our lovely Mum and wanted to see if it would be possible to lay her to rest with her family.

God bless you.

Hello again Blue,
Is there a link for a map of the cemetery to find the grave quite easily do you know?

Thank you

I did post a map originally but I think it was removed a similar map can be found using this link:-

I've just noticed from my records my Great Aunt Jane Bennett is buried in the same section she is in 2D 258.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

This seems to be where you would contact for information on the plot. I took it from Liverpool's City Council website

Yew Tree Cemetery
Yew Tree is not managed by Liverpool City Council but by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. For enquiries relating to Yew Tree Cemetery you should contact the main office at:

Hi Gibel

Thank you for taking time out to give me this information, I will contact them. I think I will have to meet with somebody there as I don't know how we go about getting permission to lay Mum to rest there (if we can). I don't know if we need deeds or anything official to gain access, our Mum was the last one of her family but it would be very fitting if we could lay her back with them all. We have both Mum's and Dad's ashes that we need to lay.

I think this message was meant for this thread:-

"Hi all

So my sister and I have been to Yew Tree this afternoon. Blue70 and Organza gave me the information I was looking for a couple of weeks ago. Our Grandparents and Auntie are in an unmarked grave from what we gather. This was quite upsetting as we don't know if there has ever been a headstone or if after our Auntie passed away in 1965 the headstone was removed and not put back. My sister is going to contact LACE on Monday to see if their records can shed any light on it for us, and if we can what we need to do to enable us to place our parents ashes there. Any further advice or help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bluegirl54"
