Brooklyn burial help please
« on: Monday 24 April 23 20:38 BST (UK) »
Hello all

Henry Farrer was born in England, moved to the USA and died in Brooklyn in 1903.

I'm trying to locate his burial as he was not buried back in England at the Brompton Cemetery.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70510300/henry-farrer

I found an obituary in the Brooklyn Eagle which I atrached to his memorial and would like to get his memorial removed from Brompton and put in the correct cemetery.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you for the extra information.

I dont manage his memorial but it doesnt belong at Brompton, I've asked the manager to relocate it.

I'll see if I can find his wife on FindAGrave.
