Aside from cemetery records, the Jersey Archive received a substantial collection in 2009 from a local undertaker which included books of accounts and funeral records from seven constituent companies; the oldest of these go back to about 1820. A team of volunteers is transcribing the names of those buried, and this list will be added to the [http://search.jerseyheritage.org/ Jersey Archive OPAC].
