Hi Can anyone advise me how to find burial records please. I've searched Ancestry but had no matches. We believe that our relative was buried in Highgate Cemetery but I can't seem to find anything online that would help me find out more information. Many Thanks

You can do a search for free but need to register to buy vouchers to redeem against the result if you want the full information.

You can buy vouchers in multiples of £5 - the more you spend the better "bonus" voucher you get. Or you can buy a year's worth of vouchers.
