Funeral - records
The Registrar's Office maintains burial and cremation records
for all cemeteries in the area. Citizens may apply to the Registrar
to search burial and cremation records.
Why search records?
Many people require searches of the records because they have
forgotten where a relative’s grave is or cremated remains are
strewn but most searches are carried out for people involved in
compiling their family trees.
