Hi,

There are a few free sites that have burials for Co. Tyrone.   

If you google  "Northern Ireland burial records,      you get quite a few free sites that you could search.   
The following one has a lot of burial /headstone photos for Tyrone

What name are you looking for?

Hi
Thanks will check those out. Its Margaret Moore died in Londonderry 1890 but cant find a burial in that area the family lived in Strabane (not sure if she was originally from Strabane) before Londonderry so long shot that she might have been buried there.

Sometimes a newspaper announcement will say where burial is to take place- worth checking the local paper from where she died.
