I have a question regarding death/ burial dates around 1942. Where I can search for Brighton.
The burial place is at Downs Crematorium, Brighton. Unfortunately I would like more information. I can post a PM.
Thank you

To help pin down the death date, you could use FreeBMD. I'm assuming that you know the name of the person - and then limit the timing by choosing Registration District of "Brighton".
Downs Crematorium have their own website, and they may or may not be helpful.

Re death date - if the deceased left a will the date if death is often shown on the probate entry

Many (but not all) of the cemetery and crematorium registers are now on deceasedonline
https://www.deceasedonline.com/
you can search these also on Ancestry
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/70845/
search with only a first name (also using wildcards i.e. * or ?), limit it to a specific year or year range, and also limit it to a specific county or municipal area (which is also not possible on the deceasedonline site). Bear in mind that modern districts are used, so areas in London, that were formerly part of the surrounding counties i.e. Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Essex and Kent are listed under the London Borough which they now lie in. You should put the Borough name in the keyword section rather than the location section.

Thank you.
I have contacted the Crematorium.
