This has probably been asked before but how do I find out where family are buried? I have names, dates of birth and death etc but is there a general register kept of burials??

I am not aware of a general register. You have dates of death, but do you also know where they died? If they lived in times covered by census, have you found them there and so know where they lived. Then it would be a case of checking out local churches/burial grounds.
You could also check (if it is Sheffield) sites such as Sheffield Indexers and Sheffield Records as they have transcribed and indexed a lot of burial records.
If not Sheffield do a google search for similar local indexes.
If you want to give more detail on SF or pm me, I could try and help further.

City Road burials from 1881 have been transcribed and placed online at
www.sheffieldindexers.com

Sheffield Family History Society have transcribed most of the Churchyards along with Tinsley Park, Attercliffe, Darnall and Revil Lane cemeteries if you post a message with the names...they may help you. I also have the General Cemetery transcriptions.
