Hi All, I'm always amazed at the systems Trusts use to locate a grave within any given cemetery. Some of them seem to be invented by a combination of Monty Python and the Goon show. Some of them go to great lengths to avoid simplicity and get really complicated. At one they number the graves as pairs, that's not so bad but then they go DOWN the rows with their numbers instead of along the rows. Another they count four graves, two back to back to another two, as one compartment and then number the compartments. Yet another they number the graves in chronological order and use big maps with every name marked on them. Names of cemeteries not given to protect the perpetrators. It's quite common to count two rows, back to back, as one row. I've seen a few where they have the odd numbers in one row and the even numbers in the row opposite. It's quite common to split rows up into different sections with no indication where they split. The Victorian Garden cemeterys (as in Queen Victoria) have the trusts really bamboozled, such as St. Kilda, Brighton, Cheltenham Old. Sale cemetery did pretty good in this regard. Legislation was introduced in 2005 in regards to cemetery record keeping but it is pretty confusing and widely ignored. If anyone has got some interesting ones I'd like to hear about them. The normal system of location is the "Postal" system where Suburb, Street, House number equate to Section, Row and Grave number. Why re-invent the wheel ? I'm looking for the craziest system. Yours, Garry.
