There are three kinds of records that can be consulted when researching death or burial details. The first is the death certificate (after 1855) or the Parish Register of deaths (rare). The second record is a listing of Monumental Inscriptions often carried out by volunteers or as a community service project or often by the local Family History Societies The third source is the Records of Burial which can comprise several different sources from Registers of Burials, sales of lairs, index of lair holders, Registers of Applicants etc. for more click on the introduction
