National Cemetery Map
Parish Online (www.parish-online.co.uk), supported by the ICCM, has launched a National Cemetery Map which, as it matures, will provide an increasingly accurate nation-wide view of the provision of cemetery, crematorium and burial ground services. The Cemetery Map will be freely available to all and can be found here.
