Hi Myra, Welcome. Interesting question, which I am not sure I can answer ;-) Normally, you are buried in the cemetery which is affiliated to your Shul. However, what happened to people who were hospitalised? Did relatives continue to visit and pay into the burial society for their kin or were they disowned? Did the administration in the hospital even know the "client" was Jewish? When they died were their Jewish rites observed, did people sit Shiva, or not? I am sure there are no general rules on this. So, could be almost anywhere. Some institutions had their own burial grounds, some would have used the local municipal cemetery. If relatives took care of the deceased then maybe they used their own cemetery (assuming it would be the same as the deceased, which may not have been the case). Good luck and let us know if you find out where he is buried. best wishes, Sherry (Salford UK 9C and cloudy) On 27/01/2008, Myra & Peter Waddell <mpwaddell@aapt.net.au> wrote: > Here's my first posting to this digest from me - in sunny, warm (and > warmer tomorrow) Adelaide, in South Australia. > > I received my great-uncle Leon > Goldenberg's death certificate the other day and see that he died in > Colney Hatch. > > I wondered whether anyone has any idea where he might have been buried > in those days - 24th November, 1916, at age 40.
