The Society's Burials Database was started in 1999. The eventual objective is to record all burials from the parish registers of Buckinghamshire up to 1901. We have already recorded most of them - over 660,000 - but there are still quite a few to go.
If you do ask us to carry out a search what we will include for each person found, (assuming the information is available from the register), is name, burial date, date of death, age, relationship to others and any other miscellaneous information available. Please note that the burials database does not include any civil death registrations.
Some parishes are not complete. Before applying for a search please check the list of parishes and dates already covered by clicking here

How to apply for a burial search.

Option 2: The Single Surname Search – All parishes for 100 years. Cost £5.00
You give us the surname and we will check the complete Buckinghamshire database for all parishes for any 100 year period which you specify. (Like Option 2 we will also throw in surname variants for free.)
You can request more than one search or more than one option provided that you send the full payment. Payment is required even if there are no matching entries to your request.
