Tracing a Burial or Cremation

In the past babies who were lost through stillbirth were often buried or cremated without the parents knowing where they were taken, or what happened to the body. Trying to trace whether a baby was buried or cremated, and where and when that took place, can be a very time consuming experience. Additionally due to difficulties with access to historic records, it is often not an easy process, without any guarantee of success. We have produced a guide, which we hope will assist you, should you wish to trace a burial or cremation.
