Need us to conduct a search for you

If you're unable to visit our offices, we can conduct the search on your behalf.

Paying for a search

The cost for an individual search for one name is £32.

This can be paid by cheque, over the phone, or in person if you're visiting our offices.

Please note: Current legislation prevents individual access by members of the general public to our cremation records younger than 75 years. We are however able to confirm, or otherwise, if a person has been cremated at either of our crematoria.
