Finding someone's ashes

My best friend died when we were both 12. I've thought of her frequently throughout my life and miss her terribly. I attended the service at the local crem and sometime later that year, her parents split up and moved towns.

I've never visited her gravestone and this is starting to haunt me - I don't know why. She's at the forefront of my mind, possibly because my own DD is of a similar age?

I'd dearly love to see where her final testing place is, to go and lay some flowers and sit for a while but where do I start? How do I find her?

you would need to ask her parents.

She might not have a gravestone. You could visit and lay flowers at your local crems memorial garden.

It is worth asking at the crem. I found my Granddad through them, where he was and his entry in the book of remembrance.

This is nearly 35 years ago. Would they hold records that far back?
Thanks both, for replying.

My Granddad died a lot longer than that and they still had the records x

Witchdancer thank you. I'll get in touch with the Crematorium.
