Post in thread 'Yardley Cemetery Plot Map'

I visited Yardley cemetery on Wednesday, February 5th.

The office lady informed me that she only deals with cremations now.
We now have to call 0121 216 2000, then choose option 4, to get grave information.
(They cover various cemeteries, so pay attention )

The section I wanted was 'D' which obviously isn't shown on the map.
(Why they can't show both the old and new maps is mystifying.)

Section 'D' is number 37 by the way

Also, maps can be obtained anytime from a fixture on the wall of the office.

Be good, play nicely x



Just to confuse things, I tried to find...

Hi
You can use the Birmingham Council page to search for people and if you want the burial register there is a charge of £10 for a pdf.
ive used it a few times to get the registers of family members and shows their last address which helps confirming its the right person im looking for.

Bereavement Services | Birmingham City Council

birminghamburialrecords.co.uk

the search section doesn't seem to accept middle names so keeping it first and surname you can use it to search year for specific cemetery or see how across all

Selina was buried in December 1940 from the quick search on that link.

Hi if you go to that website above and get the number give them a call and there should be an option for cemetery info, if you manage to speak to someone they will do a search for you and give you the location.
