Thanet council can still tell you whether buried or cremated and where

There is a crematorium at Hawkinge near Folkestone and they serve a big area even outside Folkestone

But in any case the council should be able to tell you

May charge a look up fee though as many councils have started to do this

PM from Kevin - Crem didn't open until 1966.

There's this article if you google -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-11372808

"Details of 146,000 burials and cremations in the Thanet district, dating back more than 150 years, have been scanned onto a computer.".........................."Thanet District Council's registrar's team can now view the records from their computers" etc

Have you tried phoning Margate cemetery. Cemetery offices usually have really good records - especially as you have the exact date of death.

Can anyone help? Im looking for the final resting place of my great-grandmother Susan Ellen Herring (nee Painter). Whilst i have both birth1866 and death 1945 certificates I cant find any burial records. Susan ended her days here in Margate/Westgate in July1945. Any leads would be much appreciated. Thanks.
