Chandlers Ford burial/cremation request
« on: Monday 09 September 24 15:28 BST (UK) »
My grandfather died in Jan 1979 at Winchester and was cremated possibly at Southampton Crem.  i currently have a request with Southampton Council for the entry if it was there.  Were there any other crems in the area at this time?  He lived in Chandlers Ford.

His mother Kate Owen Gadd (she remarried twice after my great grandfather died) died in March 1958 at Chandlers Ford but I have no idea if she was buried or cremated.  I have searched the Eastleigh cemetery database but no record of her so I have concluded she was cremated or buried at one of the churches in Chandlers Ford - possibly St Boniface.  Would there be anywhere else at this time?  Has anyone access to the St Boniface burial register for March 1958?

If you know her exact death date - why not give the church a ring & ask about availability of info?

Thanks for the replys, I've just heard from Southampton Crem and both were cremated there (although Kate is at South Stoneham where I believe the crem was at that time)
