A huge thanks for those who replied to my message at last I have found were my late uncles body went! He was buried in a public grave in Manor Park cemetery, Hackney I even know the plot number. It feels great to at last solve this puzzle. Once again thank you. Kind Regards, Anne-Marie.

Write again to the hospice and do enclose a donation, however small, as they are (or used to be) always in need of funds. I am sure someone from there will reply but it just takes time. Marie

Hi there Reg, as far as I am aware he did not come back to Liverpool and thanks for the address of St Josephs Hospice I wrote to them about 3 weeks ago but have had no reply as yet! Abney Cemetery is the local one for Hackney but he aint there either, will have to try others he may even be creamated? Thanks to you also Nana Anna I have tried that web site. Best Wishes, Anne-Marie.

As he was born in Liverpool, it is possible that his final resting place is also in Liverpool..........a lot of people like to go back to their roots, as it were......... Reg

Hi I am trying to locate where my uncle was buried (or cremated) and not sure how to go about it? He was born in Liverpool (where I am from) and died in Hackney, London @ St Josephs Hospice in 1987 (I found this info. from his death certificate. However, I am trying to locate where he was buried. I have looked on the website of Abney Cemetery, London but no luck. Does anybody no of any other cemeteries he could be at as I dont live in London? Anne-Marie.
