The anonymous man was overcome with emotion after he found the gravestone in Warriston Crematorium after people at Mortonhall Bereavement Services helped him find it.Volunteers who tend to the cemetery spotted him looking around with a map on his phone. He seemed a bit lost, so they helped him look for the grave, which was in a hidden part of the cemetery.
"We stopped to enquire. He told us that he'd been in touch with Bereavement Services at Mortonhall and that an efficient and helpful member of staff had provided details, plus a map showing the grave's location." "I forget who is the relative, alas. It might be his grandfather or great-grandfather. Some of the people commemorated died in the 1890s."Ten years ago, The Friends of Warriston Graveyard group took over looking after the site with the permission of Edinburgh Council to make it a more welcoming experience for relatives looking for their loved ones' graves.
She added: "We met the gentleman in the photograph by chance, and it was a pleasure to guide him to the correct area so that he could find his family's gravestone."
