Find a grave

You can now search for graves online using our scanned Burial Index Cards or make an appointment to look though burial registers by using our Contact Us form.

We can also search for you. Where accurate information is provided and a search will not take long, we do not charge for a single item. However, for searches that take a lot of time we may make a charge (see Fees and charges).

There is no charge if you want to find a grave so it can be opened for a new burial.

The 3 cemeteries we manage are the resting place for over 100,000 former residents, including the victims of cholera epidemics, the Theatre Royal fire of 1887 and the Exeter Blitz in World War 2. 

You can find out about historic and interesting graves and memorials at Exeter Memories: Exeter's Cemeteries and Graves.
