The Family History section in the Mitchell Library has the burials for St Kentigern's.  Assuming you know a date of death you can visibly examine the records which are in date order and look through the days after the death.   That will give you the lair number and location.

Thank you so much for the information, very much appreciated!

You are very welcome.  Since I replied to your earlier post I found a lot of info for St Kentigerns on FamilySearch.   See my posts on p 16 of this thread.  If you have a date of death you should be able to find it on those records.  If you give me a name and date I can have a quick look .

Following some help I received via this thread I accessed the non indexed images on line at FamilySearch.   Most records for St Kentigern's are available, but there are four films not yet uploaded online.    I have made a request via FS for these to be scanned and put online.  No guarantee it will happen tho I cannot see copyright or privacy being an issue as more recent records are already available on FS.   If they appear I will post on here.

Requested records :-
Daily interment books, 1882-July 1909, British Film 1574797
Daily interment books, July 1909-March 1926, British Film 1574798
Daily interment books, March 1926-September 1943, British Film, 1574799
Daily interment books, September 1943-July 1967, British Film, 1574805

Just an update.   The remaining films have now been digitised by FamilySearch and are online

hi I can get the lair records on familysearch but just wondered if you could tell me is there a quick way of getting to what you want rather than search all  the pages one by one many thanks

Hi,
The records are not indexed so there is no search facility as such.  However, if you have a date, or even a year for a death it's actually quite easy to locate.   Simply study the description of each film in the catalog summary  here https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1321853?availability=Family%20History%20Library and determine which film it will be on.   Some films are daily burial records and some are Lair registers that show all burials in that lair.  Start with the daily interments.   If you view the film using the "multiple image " option ( at left hand side of page ),  you will see occasional black separators, these give the contents of the following section of the film which is usually split into groups of years, so you can quickly jump through say 50 / 100 pages at a time to find the section and locate the year and the record within the year.  They are in chronological order.     Remember these are BURIAL dates, so you need to check a few days beyond the date of death or even more.  For example, I had an uncle killed in action in WW2, so it was 4 weeks later before his body was repatriated for burial.

Sorry if that seems like "teaching granny to suck eggs ".      Hope it helps, but if you get stuck PM me and I'll see if I can help.
