Good morning, I am trying to find the location of my Father’s grave in Otley cemetery. I have a plot number (412 in S section) but I am not sure of where abouts this will be as he died before I was born. Please can you help me. Is there any maps I can look look at online.
I’m trying to locate my great uncle’s grave in section S of Otley cemetery but, of course, I’ve no idea where that might be – can anyone help, please?

Good morning Mike
I am looking for a relative who was buried in 1896 in Otley cemetery. I have a plot number of E,251.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to find this when I visit the cemetery?
Many thanks in advance
Lorraine
Hi Lorraine,
Enter the Cemetery through the main gate off the Otley to Pool Road, walk up the main drive until you are the facing the chapel, the section to your right is Section E.
Regards
Mike.
Hi Morris,
Section S can be located by going through the main entrance on the Otley to Pool Road, take the first path to the right off the Main Drive, the first section of graves is Section I, the second small section and the third larger sections are Section S, it is directly opposite the WC and the Old Mortuary Building.
We dont have any complete maps of Otley Cemetery, however this is a municipal cemetery so they may have a map at the Bereavement Services, Farnley Hall, Leeds. tel- 0113 378 8196, or at least explain the layout of the cemetery.

It is very frustrating this new system help please.
Hi Mike please ignore my previous message as have just found my password and was able to log in and find what I wanted for my sister in law.

Where is the Catholic section at Otley Cemetery?
There is no evidence that I can find of a separate section for Catholic Graves in Otley Cemetery, in fact, the only reference I can find to a Catholic Grave is in Section G Row 0 Grave 64 James Joseph Barr is recorded as being Roman Catholic.

hi mike’ are there any photos of Otley Cemetery. as i can find little information on it.
Please can anybody tell me where Section C is at Otley Cemetery. Many thanks.
Hi Wendy,
I have looked at the information we have on the cemetery and although it states there is no C Section, we have 700+ graves with a C section reference. I think the only place that will have a definitive answer is the Bereavement Services, Farnley Hall, Leeds. tel- 0113 378 8196, or at least they may be able to explain the layout of the cemetery. Sorry I cant be of more help. Regards Mike.

Dear Ottley Cemetery,
My name is Seth and I am a student at the Northern Film School, part of Leeds Beckett University. I am producing a short graduation film called “Stomper”. “Stomper” is a slice of life, short family drama. The story follows a young mother called Amy, who struggles to support her young children and new-born baby, whilst dealing with the death of her larger than life grandfather.
We have a scene that takes place in a crematorium. It is a funeral scene where the family and friends of the recently deceased grandfather, celebrate his life . I was wondering if there was any possibility we could use your crematorium as a filming location? We would only need one day to film, at some point between the 15th and 18th February. Whichever would be your preference.
We are completely aware of how important and special a place like a crematorium is. We promise to treat it with the utmost respect and care at all times.
I will attach a copy of the script so you are aware of the content of the film. The scenes which take place in a crematorium are Scene 2 and 3.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you for your time,
Seth
Hi Sandra,
I sent a reply via e-mail, let me know if you havent recieved it.

Hi
Please can someone help me find section G at Otley Cemetery
Kind Regards
Hi Tina,
If you enter through the main gate, walk towards chapel, take the third turning right
just before the chapel. Walk over the next intersection, now both sides of the path are section G,
also turn left at the next intersection and the righthand side is also section G.
I hope this helps
Regards
Mike.
Hi,
I think my father’s ashes are buried here but I am not sure. Is there a way I can contact the cemetery to check? I don’t live in Yorkshire anymore so I can’t go to check in person and want to be sure before I make the trip. Thanks in advance. Karen
Hi Karen,
If you send me details of your father, I can check our records, but if you would prefer you can contact the Leeds Bereavement Services, Farnley Hall, Leeds 12. They have a website and contact details.
Regards
Mike.
Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for your help.
My father’s name is Ian Fletcher Murray. Born 18.04.1947 Died 11.05.2004. He was cremated and I think his ashes are buried in a plot with my dad’s partner’s mother who I think was called June Law.
Thanks again.
Karen
Hi , I’m looking for the I section in otley cemetery if anyone can help.
Thankyou
Hi Nichola,
When you enter through the main entrance and walk forward towards the Chapel a pathway intersects Main Drive a few yards in and the section on the right is Section I. I think its the first grave section on the right.
regards
Mike.
