can anybody give me any suggestions into how i could get a map of a grave yard and the names of the people buried there. I ve found out that my great great grandfather is buried there including his wife, I visited the grave yard today trying to find any record of them but there was just far too many head stones! Please can someone help ...

If you have the date of one of their deaths, they should be able to find the plot for you. Cemetry offices keep very good records and are usually very helpful.I recently found my GGrandparents grave and was given a map from the very helpful staff at the council office. Good luck.

Hi I had the same problem trying to find my G.Grandparents graves,but all it took was one phone call to the council and I gave them the names and an approx date,they not only sent me the plot number and plan of where they were buried they also included the actual copy of the undertakers reciepts for the funerals.They also said if I had trouble finding the plot somone would meet me and show me it.But I found if easy after nearly 80yrs without anyone going there,it was a wonderful feeling knowing at last I was able to meet them if you get my meaning.Jill from Cardiff
