Should have been. I just did a search with google for "cremation" and found a website which looked interesting "Cremation Society of Great Britain Home PageThe Cremation Society of Great Britain was founded in 1874 to substitute cremation for burial as a means of disposing of the dead. ... ". Hope this helps. Joy

Paula the records may also be at the actual Crematorium/Cemetary rather than kept centrally by the council. It will vary for each establishment. Contact the crem first and they can then tell you exactly. Maz. XX
