The Council covers the areas of Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield in the centre of Hertfordshire within the East of England Region to the north of London. Welwyn Garden City is England's 2nd garden city, founded in 1920 by Sir Ebenezer Howard. Hatfield by contrast has a long history and was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Deceased Online has added all 14,500 individual records for the area's two cemeteries.

Hatfield Hyde Cemetery, Hollybush Lane, Welwyn Garden City, AL7 4JU, is the older and larger cemetery with most records dating from 1923 to 2010; there are a few earlier records and one from 1842.

Welwyn Hatfield Lawn Cemetery, Southway, Hatfield, AL10 8HS, is a relatively new cemetery, opened in 1984 and our records go from then until 2010.

The records available comprise:
- Digital scans of burial registers until 2004
- Computerised records from 2004
- Grave details indicating all burials in each grave
- Cemetery section maps indicating the section location of each grave
