I have been given the information verbally that two relatives are buried or maybe cremated in Larne Co. Antrim
Please can anyone tell me how I can find their graves. Some site or other ?
Thank you.

Have you tried googling?

This site shows some graves, but isn't exhaustive:

If the people you're looking for don't show up there, try Googling each cemetery name. You may find contact details for someone to ask, or another website more specifically for that cemetery.


For example, taking Ballypriormore Cemetery at random from that list, and Googling the name, brings up this:

Are you talking about recent deaths, Susan, or a long time ago?

Couldn’t see the name I’m looking for in 2015

If you like to give us the name, we can add our eyes to the search.

However, the 2015 death won't be online (unless a newspaper obituary) as it's so recent.

Susan just Google Obituary Edith Helen Sharpe Larne 2015, gives obit and details of family and cemetery.

No obit details on Irish Newspapers for Stewart Hamilton Sharpe, probably same cemetery.

Thanks Maureen I’ll go and look.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I was able to contact the mid Antrim council and a lovely lady was able to confirm which of the many cemeteries Stewart is buried in and even gave me the plot number.
So I look forward to a trip to Larne in the new year.
Thanks again
Sue
