Many thanks, greenrig, for sharing this long-awaited online link for searching the Angus Council burial records. Did the people at WDYTYA know if the task has now been completed?. I can't find any information at all on the Angus Council website.

This is quite an important bit from the site:
Scope of the data - Arbroath Eastern Cemetery [CURRENTLY UPLOADING]
Around 15,200 Burials dated 25 December 1894 to 16 October 2003, are available as Burial register scans. Maps are in preparation.
Scope of the data - Arbroath Western Cemetery [CURRENTLY UPLOADING]
Around 24,800 Burials dated 31 October 1867 to 27 December 2003, are available as Burial register scans. Maps are in preparation.
Scope of the data - Kirriemuir Cemetery
Around 13,200 Burials dated 30 March 1858 to 17 January 2008, are available as Burial register scans. Maps are available for about half the records, and are in preparation for the remainder. The records include burials in the Kirriemuir Cemetery Extension.
Scope of the data - Newmonthill Cemetery
Around 26,900 Burials dated 14 May 1850 to 30 August 1985, are available as Burial register scans. Maps are also provided. The most recent register covering a further 1,800 Burials up to 9 July 2003 is in preparation, and will be uploaded very shortly.
So essentially it's only four cemeteries so far, but here's hoping they add more.

Thanks Ostler - I had missed that information , possibly it was added sometime this week. Also, from the same page is this statement about additional Angus records:
Quote
"Angus Council
Neighbourhood Services, Direct Services - Parks & Cemeteries, Angus Council, Ravenswood, New Road, Forfar, DD8 2ZX.
Approximately 200,000 burial register records are being made available online, with a mixture of register scans and computerised records. Maps showing the exact locations of graves and where available digital photographs of headstones will also be provided. Initially approximately 80,000 records have been placed online from Arbroath East, Arbroath West, Kirriemuir, and Newmonthill cemeteries. Burials records for the remaining 80 or so cemeteries and associated maps are being added rapidly to the database. "
