Family Record Searches

In excess of 100,000 burials took place at Arnos Vale in its first 70 years and the total number now exceeds 170,000.  In addition, more than 123,000 cremations were held from the cemetery’s opening at the South West of England’s first crematorium in 1928 and the facility’s closure in 1998.

Our registers contain records from throughout this period, starting with the very first burial of Mary Breillat on 29 July 1839.  The original registers are too fragile to be made available for public inspection but all have been digitally scanned and specially trained staff and volunteers are able to carry out manual searches of these scanned documents.

To carry out a record search, we need to know the full name of the person you wish to find and the date of burial or the year of death. For details and prices, follow the link below.
