Recent burial

Hi All

Does anyone know how to find out where someone is buried if they have died recently? I've tried searching online but I just end up with historical sites.

It's for a death in 2016 and I know name, date of birth and have got the date of death and the area of Sheffield where they died from FindMyPast but I don't know where to go from here.

Many thanks
Julia

Hi,
Have you tried Bereavement Services, should be on their computer system

Re: Recent burial

Hi Mick

The bereavement service were very helpful, they got back to me straight away. They didn't have a record but suggested trying Grenoside crematorium. I've called them and they have confirmed my Great Aunty Bet's ashes are scattered there. She was moved from her flat a few years ago and we didn't have any contact details for her and then we found out at the weekend that she had died in 2016. At least now we can go and pay our respects.

Thanks for your help with this one Mick!

Best wishes
Julia
