Buried then cremated?
« on: Wednesday 25 March 20 07:53 GMT (UK) »
I have located a burial in Ilkeston Derbyshire Feb 14 1977.

However the same persons ‘cremated’ remains are buried 12 March 1977 in Shelf Yorkshire.

The persons address is the same and there is a MI at Shelf showing her and the husbands name

Not showing names as it’s a bit close

Are you sure it's a burial, and not just a memorial service?

Looks to me as if they are in both burial registers

Seems to me as though the person's life was commemorated in a funeral service, but the body was taken for cremation?

Possibly after discussion with the family; or reading of the will?

A friend of a friend was buried here last year, despite making it clear he wished to be cremated.
Unfortunately he didn't put his wishes in writing!
His mother's wish for a burial override anyone else's concerns! :o

Just strange to me that an entry is in the burial register

Here husband could have actually been the Vicar there at the time

There is an entry at  the side picture attached

Looking at the cremation index it does seems as if she was cremated in the Nottinghamshire area. I presume that was nearest crematorium to Ilkleston

So that answered that

Looking at your snip of the register, Wilford Hill is a crematorium in Nottinghamshire...
