Deceased Online adds Exeter City's Higher Cemetery

Deceased Online is working on Exeter City's cemeteries. With 73,779 records from 1862 to 2019, Higher Cemetery, located 2 Km ENE city centre, more than doubles the number of Exeter burials included. 

The others added recently were:

Exwick Cemetery, 23,387 records from 1877 to 2019
Topsham Cemetery, 6,747 records from 1856 to 2019Jews' Burial ground in Exeter - geograph.org.uk - 283428

The cemetery holds the graves of 406 war dead including 6 Canadians from the First World Waar and 9 RCAF from the Second.

The Higher Cemetery records comprise computerised burial records, section maps showing the approximate location of graves in the cemeteries, and details of other grave occupants.

Burials in all three cemeteries, except the more recent, can be viewed without charge on index cards in Adobe Acrobat PDF format at https://exeter.gov.uk/people-and-communities/bereavements-services/burial-index-cards/.
