Cremation details for a Maria Platts cremated 1962/1965 at Sheffield City Road Crem.

Hello. I am searching for the above details of my great grandmother, Maria Platts. Maria was born in 1875 and died in 1962, although my father does have her date as 1965. I am sure my date is correct. Apparently her funeral took place at Dinnington,Yorkshire. Followed by Cremation at Sheffield City Road Crem 1962/65.

I have a vague memory of visiting the Crematorium to place flowers by her plaque many years ago.

As I am doing the family tree I would like to mention details of her cremation on the tree and I have tried all sites to find Maria Platts but I have been unable to find any details of her cremation and I am hoping that someone can help me trace her records.

Can anyone help me please?

Yours

Mrs Lesley Airey, great granddaughter to Maria Platts

Hi Lesley,

You will probably have to phone Bereavement Services at City Road to find further details of the cremation.
