Various medical conditions mean that I am unable to visit cemeteries as often as I'd otherwise do so but when I am able to visit a cemetery I do try to find the requests that have been made as well as my own research.

********** Tips That You'll Hopefully Find Useful With Your Research **********

Using a good mapping software is essential for researching your family history but it is also a very valuable tool when visiting cemeteries as you are able to pinpoint the exact location of the cemetery as well as the graves that you find as part of your research.
What3words is an excellent example of a mapping tool that you can use not only to find the cemetery or garden of remembrance but also the graves (or the location that the ashes where scattered) that you find due to its unique way of mapping the world which makes finding the cemetery, garden of remembrance, graves, etc., again a lot easier as well as an easy way to share their locations with others.

Try to get hold of a plan of the cemetery before your visit because it will show you the different sections/areas within the cemetery so you don't end up going round in circles.
Make a copy of the plan before visiting the cemetery then you always have a "clean copy" for future visits, so you can make a copy for each visit if needed especially if looking for a different surname or multiple members of your family tree, or even looking up a grave for someone else. I know sites like "Find A Grave" exist to help other people out but some people like to have a hard copy (paper copy) of the cemetery showing the locations of their family/families grave(s).

With regards to crematoriums, the "Kerb markers" (Memorial plaques) they are generally removed after a set period of time unless the fee to keep them in place is paid. The length of time the marker will be there varies depending on the crematorium and their own individual policies. However the staff in the crematorium office should be able to provide you with a plan of the Garden Of Remembrance and the location within the garden where the ashes had been scattered.
Please Note, it is always best to give the crematorium office some advance warning before turning up due to a lot of the records still being in paper format and it can take some time for them to research the location for you.
The same tip applies to getting a clean copy of the layout of the garden of remembrance as it does for cemeteries, clean copies are always very useful to have then you can make a copy yourself before going to the garden of remembrance especially if looking up the details for someone else or multiple family members.
