Thank you Terry you're a top bloke And thanks for the link.

Yes today has been harder than yesterday as we were running around doing stuff. I went on my walk this morning but everything seems grey and colourless. Its my brother doing most of the phoning etc today. and there's a problem that's come up.

Around the late 90s Dad and his second wife at the time bought a plot in the local churchyard. In 2000 his second wife died and was laid to rest in that churchyard. Apparently Dad paid for himself to be buried in that plot too. However, my brother has been in contact with the council responsible for that church, and there's no record of any transaction regarding Dad's plot.

They said the church warden of that time died in 2006. And the late 90s/early 00s were a time when the internet was very much in its infancy. So would any evidence be on paper only? And if it has been lost, there will be no proof he ever bought it.
