The website has an extensive deceased search engine. The actual cemetery is huge so I recommend knowing where you want to go before going to the cemetery. A map is really essential.

Gerald and his wife Elise are both buried in:-
Church of England, Monumental Compartment N Section 21 Grave 15

Tacon, Gerald Harvey (49)                                           died 24th Jan 1932 / 2218                        
Tacon (Haythorpe) , Elise Laura (86)                          died 4th June 1972 / 12062             


The first time I visited this grave site it was very wet and the plaque had sunk into the ground. It was so muddy I could not get a good photo, unfortunately I didn't have my cleaning gear with me that day. I let the office staff know and they assured me this would be rectified.
A few months later when I visited again the plaque had been raised to ground level and cleaned.
