Finding a grave

[CharlieDelta]

Hi folks. Still trying to trace my mate who died a few years ago. Just wondered though , if he died in England but his folks are from Scotland and live there then where is he likely to be buried. Where he died or where his folks live ? Also he split from his wife but they didn't divorce so does she get a say in him being buried where she lives ? What's the law re this and how does it work with his death being registered ? Will that have been done in England or Scotland ? Loads of questions I know. Sorry. Any help would be great. Cheers.

Do not know any law on this etc. but knowing the Scots, if you even gave a name,( not necessarily details), they might know the district or area something like that that he or his folks came from for a starter.

Don't know the law either, but this happened with my aunty; my uncle was creamated and so has a 'grave' site (where parts of his ashes are buried) in both Oxford and Liverpool. Do you know if your friend was uried or cremated? If cremated he may have been scattered?

I think that if he was living in England when he died, his death would have been registered there, but if he was living in Scotland but visitng England, his death would be registered in England, and maybe also in Scotland.....? His parents would probably decide where he was buried, so Scotland is most likely. In my opinion anyhoo.
