Dont forget that in the last 100 years many people may have been cremated and not buried.

If you are looking for ancestors you will have to check parish registers in the area they were living for burial info. You would need to know roughly when they died to be able to know which years to search in the registers.

You need to know when they died and where they died.
Not sure how else you could hope to find their burials..........

Even so, they may not be buried where they died. My father was buried in his birthplace....a long way from where he died.
