Cemetery records
All records for the following cemeteries are kept in the office at the Mid-Warwickshire Crematorium.
We have records of people buried in all of our cemeteries i.e. Leamington Spa (Brunswick St), Old Milverton, Kenilworth (Oaks Rd), Warwick and the people who have been cremated at Oakley Wood. We do not have information for those buried in the closed churchyards we maintain.
Any requests for genealogical information should be sent to oakley.wood@warwickdc.gov.uk In the first instance, the request will be assessed and an estimate of the time required to complete the search. If you are looking for a specific person (one) and know the date, a fee will not usually be charged. If lots of information is required, or the information supplied by the applicant is vague (e.g. no specific dates) then there is a £60.00 fee for searching for genealogical information. The research will be carried out once the appropriate fee has been received.
