Does anyone know what information these will have in them? |

Depends really, burials in a graveyard have less info - name, age, address, maybe occupation, date of burial. |

It really depends on how old the records are - if they are old Parish records they may have very little information but might give extra information sometimes you will find out about the coffin or lack of it. |

Burial records I have read from 1700's & 1800's usually give just the name of the deceased and date of burial. Some give age at death, but don't rely on it. Occasionally, extra information is given. One ancestor was "w of *****", while another was "found drowned". |
