I agree with Lorna. I have usually found the cemetery office to be helpful. The contact details are found on the relevant local authority web pages. On the one occasion when the cemetery office declined to help, I found that the local library had a copy of who was buried there and the librarian was more than willing to give me the info I needed. Again the library details are on the local authority web pages.
