just thought I would update. Visited the cem on sunday, found the plot very easily thanks to the map provided but sadly no stone :( We think maybe my grandfather just couldn't afford a stone after buying the plot.

We planted some flowers on the spot anyway, but its in a very obvious spot so at least I know have somewhere to visit my grandmother.

I know, trying not to get my hopes up!

Sarah, sad to say it is unlikely there is a headstone. But the lady who sent you the map is probably the person to ask.

Hope I am wrong.

Love

oh your post just reminded me of anfield cemetary,my uncle and nan are there,dad used to take me there to put flowers on the grave of his mum my nan,and all these years later(im 46 now)i can still hear my dad crying at the graveside.mums family are all in sefton park cemetary,we went there last year and it was like going into a war zone,oh how things have changed to my lovely childhood home.x

It might be worth trying this site out - they say they will take a photo for you of the headstone if one exists:

Hello
Ive just heard back from Anfield re: the location of my grans grave, I had the plot number and the lady has sent me out a map and location. What I am hoping beyond hope is that there is a headstone. Anfield said there is only one person in the plot , which was 'owned' by my grandfather.

Does the fact that there is only one burial in the plot make it more likely there is a headstone? I'm too excited to wait you see! My grans parents and siblings are a family of ripper uppers - photos were looked at once then torn up, most family members never had a headstone and were never visited again after the funeral.

I am hoping that my grandfather, whose family all had headstones etc, passed this onto my gran.....
