Burial place

[specialkg]

Sorry about the spelling. I took it from the death extract from SP but thanks for noting it.

I expect there will be the 100 year rule for information from a hospital but thought I would try.

If there is no burial the most helpful people would be the undertakers. I wonder if that is the way to go but that could be again a long shot. When someone dies in hospital is there always a funeral home involved. Might be an odd question but I never thought of it before.

I wonder how many undertakers there were in Edinburgh in 1952, and how many of them have since gone out of business?

I once visited an elderly lady in the late 1980s who was in Queensberry House temporarily, just before it was taken in to the construction of the new Scottish Parliament.
She was distressed at being there as when she was younger it was known as ‘The poor house’ (Workhouse in England) but I don’t know when it ceased being the poor house and became geriatric care.
It may be useful to find this out as if it was still the poor house in the 1950s then it may have been a paupers funeral ?
I may be putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 ??

Thanks for your message which is a useful bit of information. I will pursue that line. Very much appreciated.
