Estelle There has been index done for lots of Cemeteries and some like Toowong have a very helpful "Friends of Toowong Group" who are there at Weekends to help people locate graves. The Genealogical Society of Qld Inc has a set of cards for the Toowong Cemetery that indicates grave locations, the cards also indicate if a person is being buried with another person. The grave site is something the Funeral Director gets from the Council and this information is also on the copy of the Directors records and these records have also been filmed, indexed and available for sale from GSQ.

From my limited experience in this area, Burial Registers or cemetery maps - the only records of individuals' exact burial sites - as kept by Councils, Churches, etc seem to have had variable survival rates. If the plot co-ordinates relative to the cemetery of burial were briefly recorded by the undertaker on the Death Certificate at the time of burial, this would stand the test of time, as long as the death was registered. Even though the details given to the undertaker by relatives for entry on the Death Certificate can be questioned at times, the official and medical information is not subjective. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this...or is this information already recorded "! behind the scenes", and not published with a certificate?
