Cemeteries
Find burial records from Isle of Wight Cemeteries
We keep records from civil cemeteries that are looked after by the council on the Island, rather than the Church. These are not churchyards, but public burial grounds.
You can use these records to:
- trace your family history
- learn about people from the past
- find out who is buried in a cemetery
Please note: There are comprehensive Personal Names Indexes for all these registers.
