Thanks Margaret - just googled East Ayrshire council - http://www.east-ayrshire.gov.uk/CouncilAndGovernment/BirthMarriageAndDeath/Deaths/Cemeteries-and-memorials/CemeteriesAndMemorials.aspx. BereavementServices@east-ayrshire.gov.uk - don't know if this is for modern day graves or not. Here's another site - https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch. I've never used the site so I have no idea if it's good or bad. I know that in Irvine there is a guy by the name of Billy Kerr who perhaps maintains the Irvine Parish Church or maybe has recorded the gravestones. So there must be someone in Killie who would do the same.
