Family History Burial Index, Key Hill & Warstone Lane Cemeteries

Key Hill Cemetery is the final resting place for over 65,000 individuals, while Warstone Lane Cemetery houses more than 105,000. Let us help you locate your family history. What we need from you:

-Full name of the deceased
– Date or year of death
– Year of birth
– Pen and notebook

Please note: Many individuals share identical names and similar dates of death. Without an official death certificate, we cannot guarantee a definitive match for your ancestor. 

Kindly note that one ticket covers two people for a maximin half hour time slot.

Punctuality: Please allow extra time for traffic so you do not miss your allocated time slot. 

If you later find that you are unable to join us, it would be helpful if you let us know either by following the “view and manage your order online” link in your confirmation email and then selecting your order. -This will be passed on to the organisers and will prevent any delay to the start of the event and the stallholder waiting for you.

Cost: Donations for grave restoration are greatly appreciated.
