	Hi, Could somebody please tell me whether it is possible to find out whether a person was buried or cremated? And if so, how would you go about finding out? Thanks in advance Claire

	Hi, It was in 1978 and her name was Marian Green. She died in Bournemouth but my Grandmother (her daughter) can't remember whether she was buried or cremated. Any help greatly appreciated! Claire

	Your best bet is to phone the cemetery. Contact details here: http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Residents/births/Deaths/directions.asp Alternatively, you could ask the undertaker, if your gran remembers who it was.
