I went there this morning to visit nan and grandad's grave as it's nan's birthday this week. I decided that I must go over there for a day to find the graves of a number of my other rellies who I know are buried over there. If anyone else wants me to look for any graves over there or would like to join me one day, please let me know. AL

Thanks Valerie. When I was over there this morning I got so upset at the state of some of the graves. Some of them must have cost a fortune, yet they get no visitors and they must be someone's rellies. Mum was talking about my grandad's family who are buried over there and I thought their graves must be in the same condition so someone better do something about it - ie me! AL

Hi Valerie Someone mows the graveyard where my dads ashes are buried. Unfortunately Finchley is a huge cemetery, so it's beyond one person or even a small group of people. If I could find my family's graves I would tend them regularly and put flowers on them. AL
