This might interest anyone with recent Bristol deaths as I think it is the book relating to cremations and seems to date from the 1970's - available from the link below
Sadly, I find it difficult to access burial records for this cemetery due to the prohibitive cost they ask for lookups. The records have been scanned and digitised, but there is a reluctance to make them available online, either as pay-to-view or by subscription. As I have at least 30 possible burials, I could not afford to pay 30 pounds for each of them on a standard search.:(:(
Having said all that it is the most amazing cemetery, originally privately owned, but now a charitable trust and deserves all the support it gets. I have bought a couple of their history books when we visited and they are so interesting. The staff are very dedicated and were full of interesting facts and anecdotes on our visit. If you ever find youself in Bristol with a few hours to spare it is a lovely, tranquil place to visit with amazing architecture.
