A photograph of one of the burial ledgers for the East London Cemetery. This ledger dates from the late 1890s.

Searches

We currently receive a substantial number of search enquiries, and as our records are not yet fully computerised, an on-line search facility is not yet available. As such, all searches have to be done by hand using the original ledgers.

The two main pieces of information we need to conduct a search are the full name and date of death of the deceased.

The fee payable for searches of the registers is £15 per search. Applications should be made in writing to the address below, enclosing a cheque in the sum of £15 sterling made payable to East London Cemetery Co Ltd. Searches are undertaken in the order in which they are requested, and we are unable to give firm dates as to when the search will be completed due to the large numbers of enquiries that we receive.

Visitors to the cemetery are welcome to search the burial records themselves if required (there is no charge for this service).

East London Cemetery does not hold records for any other cemetery or crematorium, and we are unable to answer queries of any kind relating to any other burial ground or crematorium.
