Hello,
If you give me the compartment and details of who you are looking for I will see if I can find them. I live in Arbroath.
They are quite large but well laid out. If you contact Angus council they will send you exact information and a map

Sorry for not replying to the last couple of posts.
I too was amazed at deceasedonline.com - and how lucky that Angus is the only Scottish county represented!!
I have just returned from Arbroath this weekend (I'm afraid I don't live there myself). I am sure someone will volunteer to take photos for you though! I have received a sketch of the Eastern Cemetery, but not the Western. If you go armed with the compartment numbers to the Western, there is a good chance you will find what you are looking for. I did, in both. The Western is clearly marked with Compartment numbers so it helps narrow down your search, if you do it in a systematic way, up and down the rows. I can tell you there are dozens, if not hundreds, of headstones bearing the name of Swankie, which is obviously local to the area.
My Edwards family were local to the Seaton Smithy and I was delighted to find the 'Family Burial Ground' of the Edwards family of Seaton Smithy!
I have also written to the Angus Council for maps, but haven't received any reply yet. Hope this helps!!

Hello Margmo1
Cemetery visit.
I went today as I said and found stones which have the names you mentioned in the compartments. I approached one of the grave diggers and he was very helpful. I managed to get a copy of the compartment layout from him.
I will send them to you by personal message as they are to big to post here.
