Thank you the website wasnt any good couldnt find her/themtry the birmingham.gov website - bereavement services now have an online search facility for burials.
I don't think that site has cremations. If William died in West Brom he could be buried there and she could be with him. I don't think West Brom burials are online. So you might need to find where their records are kept.
Please tell me moreI carved most of the inscriptions at Lodge Hill Crem from 1948 to 1951
When I worked for William Bloye the Sculptor, one job I had was to carve inscriptions in the wood panels in the Lodge Hill Crematorium Not a pleasant job I will never forget the smell. One of the Forum members went there and took photosPlease tell me more
Yes, Each one by hand in the wood panels with hand-made tools, if you look closely you will, see that. Roman-style letterings. I would trace out the lettering in pencil then carve the inscription in the wood panels.Thanks, was the lettering hand carved on site then?
hi andy i would like to think that as your grandfather made such a gesture he would have had his own grave but i think your best bet would be to contact lodge hill cem i am sure they will be able to give you the answerHi was wondering if anyone could help please, my grandfather on his passing left his body to medical science and we have found that after his body was released his remains where buried at lodge hill cemetry. We have a section 47 and a plot number we think, would anyone be able to tell me if this would be a mass/ communal grave or individual graves. I'm in Liverpool and would like to travel down to pay my respects
Thanks in advance
Andy
