Talk:Cemeteries and crematoria in Brighton and Hove

Coordinates
In my view, this article wold benefit from a table of geographic coordinates for the cems & crems, such that we could locate each on a map. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I agree; will put one together later. (I have an idea for a map with each cem & crem marked with a locator dot.)   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  07:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Some of the churchyard coords may need tweaking marginally, though.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  13:00, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hove Cemetery(ies?)
As one who has been, where possible, populating cemetery articles with details of Commonwealth War graves, I come up against a difficulty with Hove's: the CWGC state there are TWO cemeteries in Hove, Old Cemetery (containing mainly WWI and a few WWII war graves) and New Cemetery (containing solely WWII graves), but the wikipedia article seems to treat this as one. Some demarcation between the Old and New in terms of clear location and a date for the creation of New Cemetery would be appreciated.Cloptonson (talk) 20:52, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll pick this up tomorrow, hopefully. The "Old" section is that part south of Old Shoreham Road, and the "New" is north of the road; but essentially there is no demarcation between the two parts any more, and they are treated as one entity.  That said, there was a considerable period of time between the opening of the two parts (Old = 1880s, New = 1910s or 1920s, I think; need to check my books), and I can see how I need to make it clearer in the paragraph.  The photo of the war graves is in the "Old" section; when I visited I didn't get time to go into the "New" section, but if I remember correctly there are approx. 40 WWII war graves there, which supports what your source says.

 * Now clarified with this edit.  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  22:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I can improve upon that by giving the total war graves in each section/cemetery (102 in Old and 67 in New). For now until such time as it is ever changed, the CWGC's present 'partition' is better recognised.Cloptonson (talk) 20:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Aleister Crowley Cremation Location
I have recorded his being cremated at Woodvale because of the fact it was then the Brighton Municipal Crematorium and that the local Council, after hearing press reports a Black Mass had been held at the ceremony, banned the practice in the chapel. (Cited to a biography, incident mentioned in Crowley's wikipedia article.)Cloptonson (talk) 22:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've added a bit more from one of my books; I remembered reading about it a while ago, and luckily found it in the book I thought it was in.   Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  22:32, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
