Hi everyone,
If someone has died in 2006 will i have to ring all the cemeterys in the area? there are 20 of them or is there another way? thank you.

Do you have the person's death certificate?

no not yet, i only just found out he died in april 2006 in sutton surrey, i have called sutton cemetery & they don't have him there, the lady gave me a list of 19 other cemeterys

As it is recent if you would like to send a message to me (click on my name to do so) with the person's name, I shall find the death registration for you. Then if you want to send for the certificate you can do so.

thank you Joy

does anyone know if i have to ring every cemetery or is there another easier way please?

If you obtain the certificate, perhaps you could contact the informant?

Usually there will be an obituary in the local paper which will give the details of the funeral. Where I live, 70% of the population are cremated so that might also be a consideration as I imagine that it will be similar around the country.-jl

His home address on the death cert may point to being buried in the nearest cemetery which are usually now municipal ones, so you could contact the Parks & Cemeteries dept of the Local Council .

It is always possible though he may have been cremated. If you feel its appropriate you could contact the informant whose address should be on the cert too

Thank you very much everyone, after a morning on the phone talking to a zillion people i finally found my dad & now my family & i can lay some flowers
