General Chat

It was sad and an over sight on my part that I took so long to visit it. I must have been standing within yards of it, perhaps closer.
Can the authorities re-use a grave ? Implies you only rent the plot.

Some of the graves with large head stones were laid flat. I was told this was done so that they don't fall over and injure some one.

I have the same with my grandfather, died 70 years ago.

On the first visit back a few years ago ( went when I was a child) I located the general area very overgrown with stones face down, the cemetery caretakers were there and knew where the grave 'should be' as per grave number. But no marker.

Returned this year in the hope I might be able to leave flowers, but the area had been, how can I put it, 're-used'.

What you might be able to do, is find another grave nearish that IS marked, find out what grave ref that is, and measure roughly from it?

From my GM's death Certificate and accompanying documents I know GM's date of death, cause of death and who signed the certificate.
I know the funeral director, cost of internment etc
I even know the grave number,
On two previous occasions I have been to visit her grave, which is in All Saints Cemetery at the back near the border with the cricket field..
Sadly this area of the grave yard is rather neglected.
It's difficult to tell where one grave sops and another starts, no markers.
I know the approximate vicinity of the grave, but cannot pin point it.
Given the condition of that part of the Cemetery and the grave's age, over 70 years, what are the chances of it being correctly identified?

If at any time I have asked this or a similar question on these threads I apologise :-S
