Not sure if there is way of adding a picture, I have two entries that I can not read one I think says buried with grave and then a number would this be correct in assuming this. The other I think is says scattered would this be a standard comment it looks like the other entries have the same, the writing is so bad.

If there is a way of posting these can someone advise me please?

many thanks in advance

After a cremation you can have the ashes buried or you can have them scattered in the grounds of the crematorium.

If you are willing for everyone to view, you can click on Keepsafe in the options towards the top of this page.
You can upload a picture there remembering to give access for viewing.

Some crematorium now keep records of where the ashes are taken to. My father-in law was cremated in Hampshire, but the records at the cremaiorium show that we brought the ashes to Kent for burial near here.

I think you have to list as shared with everyone and give us the link to that in your keepsake before we can see anything there.

(Otherwise give us the details of who your entry is about and where you found the entry - we may be able to look at it ourselves).

They could be buried with relatives or just be one of several burials in a communal grave with no known connections.
