Getting Started
Initial searches on Deceased Online are free.
You can search UK burial and cremation registers, free of charge, by region, county, burial authority, cemetery or crematorium.
To perform a quick search
Simply enter the name of the deceased person you wish to search for, and optionally a burial or cremation date range, and click the search button to retrieve the matching records. Only the surname is mandatory for a search; the other fields will allow you to refine the search and return fewer records to view.
Results are returned in a simple table, showing up to ten entries at a time. If your search has returned more than 10 records, then you can browse through these records by clicking on the ‘prev’ and ‘next’ buttons or clicking on a page number from the list.
Once you think you have found the register entry you are looking for, you can view a free summary of the types of information that are available for that entry, which you can view as a registered user. The additional information is available for a small fee, either with the purchase of a voucher, or signing up for one of our subscriptions.
The information we hold is what we are provided with by the local authority, or private cemetery or cremation. This information can include:
- Computerised registers
- Digital scans of registers
- Photographs of graves and memorials
- Cemetery maps showing grave locations
- Grave details including other occupants
If you have created an account, and you have information which could be used to refine your search further, you can search for location, alias and memorials in the ‘Navigation’ section on your account page.
Simple searching is free, and free Advanced Searching is available to registered users.
Click on the information you wish to view, and if you are registered, have a subscription, or have purchased vouchers, and have sufficient funds on your account, you will be able to view those details. Otherwise, you will have a chance to login, register or purchase vouchers before being taken to the information.
