The burial of my gt.aunt's ashes is recorded in the burial register (1948) for the cemetery in Kent.  She had died in 1941 so I guess WW2 delayed the burial.

By chance I have just read a will written in 2002 in which the testator requests that the ashes of her husband be placed in her coffin, along with those of her two dogs, before her own cremation.  After this, she wanted the ashes to be spread "over my garden".

thanks for your suggestions

i will get on to the possible parishes on thursday when i go to Family history society

i dont know what happened to the husband not even sure of death date ..he may have been buried in a Jewish cemetary

although charlotte  must have converted to judaism in order to marry Hyam BENJAMIN
her son left the religion and changed his name to BENNETT in WW2 

I dont know if she would have been buried in a jewish cemetary

First I will order the will...
Then phone parish record offices see if they have anything
