Burials
There are three kinds of records that can be
consulted when researching death or burial details. The first is the death
certificate (after 1855) or the Parish Register of deaths (rare). The second
record is a listing of Monumental
Inscriptions often carried out by volunteers or as a community service
project or often by the local Family
History Societies The third source is the Records of Burial which can
comprise several different sources from Registers of Burials, sales of lairs,
index of lair holders, Registers of Applicants etc.

Scottish National Burials
Index (SNB)
Held at the Baird Institute
and the Dick
Institute.
This National project to list
information on deaths/burials in Scotland has produced information which has
been added to computers in the Baird Institute and the Dick Institute. The index
allows searching under surname, christian name and parishes and gives details of
the entry and the source of the entry in the records consulted. The project -
which has been undertaken by volunteers - is still ongoing. To date tens of
thousands of names are available within the Ayrshire Index.
