    3. Hi All Just to add to Bills point on UK burial information:There are a couple of commercial websites with SOME cemeteries covered (but not many).There are a number of free sites sites specific to individual cemeteries.There are a couple of free sites with, again, some patchy info on various cemeteries - largely military/war deaths.A number of local authorities also provide a search service, often for a considerable charge however. I have been involved with the cemetery friends movement for 25 years now and it is fair to say that progress online of burial information has been slow. This is certainly not a short-cut to finding a death and often difficult even with specific death dates - especially for London. Local searches remain the best bet. regards IanFriends of Surrey Cemeteries > Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:26:02 -0700 > From: rnbill@centurytel.net > To: ENG-SURREY@rootsweb.com > Subject: [SRY] Burial questions > > Hi all > > Over time I have noted multiple requests for information concerning > burials in the London area.
