Buriel Records-District Forfar
« on: Friday 25 July 08 15:44 BST (UK) »
Is there any way I can find out where someone is buried?

I have obtained the death certificates for 2 relatives. They were registered in the District of Forfar, in the County of Forfar. One death was 1912 and the other was 1928. I've had help obtaining the death certificates from the Angus Archives Library. I know that they have graves, because my husband's Grandfather went to Scotland and found them, but there is nobody to ask now, as they are all deceased. I would really like to find out so we can go and see them.

Thank you in anticipation

The best people to contact are Angus council themselves.

From this page http://www.angus.gov.uk/history/features/2006-01-forfarresources.htm of the angus council website it says "Burial records for the Forfar cemeteries are held by the Burial Section of Angus Council. Further information on Forfar burials should be sought from the Burial Section of Leisure Services, Angus Council, at 01307 473225."

Isn't it funny that the leisure service of the council who deal with the cemeteries? Smiley
