Glasgow Cemeteries - guide
« on: Sunday 01 September 24 17:45 BST (UK) »
Apologies if this has been address before but could not find a recent answer in searches.

Some time ago, I was told it could be arranged for a council employee to meet you at a cemetery and take you to a grave or graves.

Does anyone know if this service is still available and if so, how is it accessed?

Many thanks

Hello ,

I called the council to locate a grave and an employee met me at the cemetery to show me the area , this was around 10 years ago , so am not sure if they still offer this service , i would give them a call ,they were very helpful.

Hi,

Yes. Looking to find several lairs located in 3 different cemeteries, dates of burials and plot owners. As they are unlikely to have headstones, need help finding the lairs.

Although Grey Seagull already seems to know Lair numbers etc., there is some useful info and links at https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/family-history/research-guides/burial-lair-and-cremation-registers, which may assist others reading this thread.
