This lists burial grounds by parish and shows which ones no longer exist.  Some lovely old photos and maps.

can someone tell me if tits possible to look up an ancestor buried in Edmonton Middlesex? All I have is that Susannah Charlotte Nairne (nee Smith) did at Edmonton, Middlesex, England 1902. I can't get a grasp on  how any cemeteries there might be in that area. TIA (Thank you in advance).

Hope you can help - I have a burial record for a relative in Streatham Cemetery (Garratt Lane). Whilst I have a plot reference, can anyone point me to a map / index of plot numbers within the cemetery ground? Thanks.

Welcome to RootsChat.  I haven't looked at it, but Find a Grave say that they have one!

Not the map I expected  :-[

Thanks for the reply. Yes - FindAGrave have maps showing the cemetery location, but not layout of individual plots / numbers. DeceasedOnline is similar - they show the 'block' assignments, but not individual grave numbers within. I was hoping someone might have found a detailed map elsewhere, but thanks anyway.

A thought - if you have the grave number, perhaps you could ask the Cemetery staff for a location!  :-\
