Cemetery Records

Waveney District Council holds the records for all cemeteries within the district. If you are looking for records relating to churchyards, you should contact the appropriate diocese (see links on Cemeteries Service page for further details).

Please use the links on the left for details of individual cemeteries including a listing of records and a plan for each of them.


Please Note:
The version of Waveney District Council’s burial index used within this section of the website was updated in October 2002. It contains only those records that had been copied from the hand-written registers onto the computerised cemetery database at that time.

The ongoing process of manually entering hand-written documents into the system is time consuming, and some of the older records can be difficult to read. Whilst we endeavour to keep our records as accurate as possible, you should be aware that there may be errors in the records similar to those occuring in other computerised genelogical records.

If you require further information, you can arrange an appointment to visit us to look through the registers. These are public records and are available for inspection free of charge. Alternatively, subject to payment of a fee, searches of the records can be undertaken on your behalf.
