I am looking for burials in Yardley cemetery, the council run one, rather than the local church.
About 18 months/2 years ago I saw a site that listed all the burials and cremations at Yardley along with the grave numbers and in some cases the funeral director. I found some people and intended to look for other rellies when I had more time....well like the idiot I am......I didn't make a note of the site.

I have searched and searched but can't find the site again. Can any of you wonderful people help?

Thank you Andysmum. I did see this but it's not the one I previously saw. The people I found in my original search are not listed on this site.
Many thanks for taking the time to look

Thank you all for your time. Sadly it isn't any of these sites. I could kick myself for not making a note of it.

I will wait until I have a few to look for and make a visit to Birmingham Library. I wonder if the burials may have been online as a temporary measure while they transferred to the new building

Again thanks for your help

Looks like it 'could' be this one ? - It shows a box to input funeral directors so it must show them somewhere and it does in clude Yardley Cemetery, amongst others ?

I can't check as I have no-one to input.

EDIT - Yes, I do think this is the one you are after - I put in the name Smith and the records come out like this:

A Lot of the more recent ones have all the info filled in but I didn't like to post one of those on here as they are not connected and would have relatives still alive.

A very useful site !!

This also looks like a very useful site if you are researching in and around the Birmingham area :

Lots of baptisms and marriages and some Gravestones etc.

Thank you so much Dea, that's the site I have been looking for. I will make sure I make a note of it as really useful. Saved me a trip to Birmingham.

The Warwickshire info site is also very useful for the surrounding areas.

Again thanks for your wonderful help.
