Yes - I have found a few of Paul's rellies. Mine are a different story as Catholic burials are harder to trace. No digitised Birmingham records yet!
 
There are cremations for Yardley as late as 2011.

Cremations for Sutton appear to go up to about 2008.
 
As many of you have said, the people at the cemeteries are really helpful on the telephone. Firstly I tried Robin Hood but the girl didn't find my Nan. I then tried Yardley and in a couple of minutes they found her as well as my Grandad! Even though he died in Highcroft Hospital the girl suggested she look and there he was. So I've now got the dates of the creations as well as where the ashes were scattered.
 
Both my parents cremated at Yardley. I also in the 1950s worked for William Bloye sculptor at Lodge Hill Crem carving names on the wood panels
