Search burial records

It can sometimes be hard to know where to start if you’re trying to find a grave. We’ll try and help as much as possible, though there is a fee for some services. 

Records we hold 

We hold burial records for the cemeteries and crematoria we manage. Our records date back to when each opened: 

  • Landican Cemetery – 1934
  • Frankby Cemetery – 1940 
  • Heswall Cemetery (Irby Road) – 1960 
  • Bebington Cemetery (Town Lane) – 1868 
  • Grange Cemetery (Blackhorse Hill)– 1923 
  • Plymyard Cemetery (Bridle Road) – 1940 
  • Wallasey Cemetery (Rake Lane) – 1883 
  • Flaybrick Memorial Gardens  – 1864 

We do not hold any burial records before these dates. Neither do we hold records for other local burial grounds not owned or managed by the council.
