Burial Records and Cremation Records

In our offices at Crewe and Macclesfield, we have records of burials and cremations that have taken place in our eleven cemeteries and two crematorium.  This can be useful for people researching local or family histories.

In order to most easily search our records, the following information would be an advantage:

• Whether it was a burial or cremation
• Name of the deceased
• Approximate date of death (within 12 months)
• Grave Number (if a burial)

A nominal fee may be charged for staff searching the records.
