Hull is the fourth largest city in the Yorkshire and Humber region and is home to over 200,000 residents. Hull's full name is Kingston Upon Hull, which was established when the town of Wyke was granted a Kings Charter in 1299 by Edward I - 'Kings Town Upon Hull'. Wyke was situated on the river Hull, which leads into the Humber Estuary.

The area around Hull has long been a part of trade to the north of Europe, with exports of wool, and imports of wine.

Hull was made a city in 1897, and has continued to grow, becoming the City of Culture in 2017.

The cremation records for Hedon Road Crematorium, and later the Chanterlands Crematorium, are all available on Deceased Online.

Many of the original scans for Hull's municipal cemeteries and the crematoria, contain details such as occupation and address of the deceased, and often cause of death, which can offer additional interest. Please note, not all original scans contain occupation, address and cause of death.

The records available to view are from the following cemeteries and crematorium:

• Eastern Cemetery: over 27,000 records, from 1931 to 2000.
• Hedon Road Cemetery: over 86,000 records, from 1875 to 2000.

Over 19,000 digital burial records and over 58,000 digital cremation records are now available dating from 2000 to 2021.
