Hi, please can anyone help?

I have just found the burial details of my great grandparents and great aunt 'after twenty years of looking' :-)

Would it please be possible for someone to look up 3 death notices which were published in the South Wales Echo?  I am reliably informed that they were published in this newspaper.

If possible - I'd also like the same searches done for the two other local newspapers, The Western Mail and the Cardiff Times.

All 3 buried at Llandaff Cemetery Cardiff

Do you visit Llandaff Cathedral or the cemetery and if so, please would you be able to tell me if there are headstones on these graves?

Can you help with photographs - do you know any one that could possibly take some digital *photographs of the graves and headstones (if there are some of course :-), and a few extra images of the surrounding area including the Cathedral in the background as that would be fantastic, and when you have a little time, there's no hurry thank you. 
*high resolution digital pictures are OK.   

I have a plan showing the position of the graves, I could email this to you - if required.

Can anyone please tell me if it's normal for obituaries to be published at the same time as death notices, are they infact different from death notices?

Many thanks, Diolch
Jed
