As you know most of us here delve through birth, marriage and death records, plus other sources. However, I don't seem to recall anybody mentioning records of cremations? Is that something that the general public don't have access to? Something a bit like we can't access to census records less than 100 years ago?

Even burial records don't seem to turn up much if anything on ancestry.co.uk unless I'm not pressing the right buttons?

Not wishing to sound morbid but I just thought it would be nice if we knew our relations were cremated so we'd know there's no need to seek the tombstones?

Thanks
