Cemetery Search Facility - Falkirk Council EVERAFTER

[WilmaM]

Falkirk Council have recently launched, without any noticeable fanfare, a search site for the cemeteries under their care.

It is called 'Falkirk Discover Everafter' and can be found here:
https://falkirk.discovereverafter.com/

I have had a browse about, and it seems fairly accurate for the ones I have looked for, of varying time periods and in different cemeteries.
I've looked at 2019 and 1895 deaths.
The information also contains who else is recorded as being buried in the lair.
Some even have photos of the gravestones - Grand Sable for instance does, as do Camelon and Larbert.
Sometimes it's just the space where the plot is with the neighbouring headstones [in 1 grave I know is unmarked], so that may make it easier to find when visiting.

The wives do seem to be searchable under both married and maiden names too, which is most helpful.

I'm not sure why it's had such little publicity - but do spread it far and wide , and hopefully other councils will consider something similar.

The site looks excellent, I've got lots of burials to be looking up now. I like the fact there is an interactive map showing the location of the lairs. And others buried in the lair, especially if the name has not been added to the headstone.

I see they also have coverage in USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia as well as UK & Ireland. That's even more searching

Thanks Wilma for posting about it.

Do you know I hadn't even looked to see where else was covered!

In Scotland it only seems to be Falkirk and East Lothian [Tranent, North Berwick, Prestonpans areas].
Wales the Cardiff , and Conwy areas are represented, England seems to be widespread geographically, but not proportionally very many.

Certainly worth a look if you are stuck on somebody - but by no means exhaustive yet.
