Grave searches

The cemetery offices at Agecroft and Peel Green maintain all the statutory burial records for Weaste and Swinton cemeteries respectively, where we receive many enquiries from families who wish to locate the burial place of their loved ones.

Burials prior to this were often in local churchyards.

If you wish to locate a family member you can write to the relevant office. A charge is made for grave searches and family history research - see the schedule of charges.

In order that we can conduct an effective search for you, the following information should be provided:

The full name of the deceased
The approximate month and year that the individual died

If writing, your cheque should be made payable to Salford City Council and sent to the relevant cemetery office. We will reply giving as much information as is held within ten days of receipt of your enquiry.
