Hi all,
Can anyone advise me how or if, I can find if a record of funeral
services are kept in the UK.
My great grandfather died in 1806, had I think a funeral service in
the same Parish Church he married in around 30 years before.
We have an undated photo of a coffin being taken from a horse drawn
funeral carriage outside the same church, because it still had
railings around the church I know it was before they were removed for
the war effort around 1940.
I have found a contact email address for the current vicar but as yet
had no reply.
I have search our local paper to try and find an obituary, but only
found a death announcement with no detail of where the funeral service
would be.
Thank you for reading this.

Thank you Steve,

Yesterday I went to our County Records Office
They have the past registers there for the church but there is a gap
from 1905 to 1907 with no record book there for that period,
So I suppose that seems like the end of it.
I have looked for online records but found none.
Thanks again,
Mick IOW.

If the books have been lost, then I doubt that you would find it on line.
