Graveyards in london

[dawnsh]

Hello all

No, not all cemeteries keep records on-site.

If the cemetery is maintained by the local council, the records will be with them. Some local councils will do look-ups free of charge, they are often more willing if you have a date of death as it means less work for them.

Older private cemeteries such as Highgate and Kensal Green now have 'Friends of' associations who look after and maintain the old ledgers. They do make a charge for their look-up services.
