Surprisingly, the records relating to your ancestors' deaths can often tell you the most about their lives. Burial records can help to locate them within their parish, while a grave memorial may be the only tangible reminder of their presence other than documents. Some gravestones even give extra details, such as a gravestone at Walberton in Sussex, which depicts the person commemorated being crushed by a falling tree. Obituaries are an excellent resource, as are records relating to overseas' deaths.
