How to locate a grave

[Lowenadler]

I'm trying to locate my mother's grave. All I know is that she died in Loughborough in October 1943 and that Section 7 of her death certificate (details of the informant) contains the phrase "causing the body to be buried". Can anyone offer some suggestions as to where I gho from here? And why should that phrase be included on the certificate?

The certificate was issued to allow or 'cause' the body to be buried, however, no actual cause of death may not have been known or clear at the time of the registration of the death, or the person who was the informant was the coroner who carried out an inquest into the death and then signed the registration allowing her to be buried (but not cremated).

In my experience if there had been an inquest into the death the the informant would have been the coroner and it would said so on the death certificate.

I believe where the informant is "causing the body to be buried" the death was registered by someone with no connection to the deceased whatsover, such as a hospital or other institution. They would have registered the death in order for the body to be disposed of.

Forgot to add, where in Loughborough did your mother die? That may give you a clue.

Many thanks for all your good advice. Sadly, the problem has not been solved. It seems that there is no record of anyone with my mother's name being buired in Loughborough during 1943. Does "causing the body to be buried" necessariy exclude cremation?

Mother died in a nursing home on Radmoor Road (which appears to be no longer there). I assume that she had been sent there by a hosptial, since the cause of death was given as pneumonia following the an operation on her gall bladder. Which hospital, I know not.
