I know this has been discussed before but the links I found appear out of date. So does anyone know who to contact regarding finding a grave location at the above.

Also, the burial record I have shows no location information. Is there another source for for that?

Here's the info I have so far if anyone can help. And many thanks if you can.

I'm not local to the Forest (I live in Kent) but last year I visited Cinderford St John's to look for the graves of some of my ancestors.

I didn't investigate the existence of any plan prior to my visit so I can't help on that score. I imagine that a phone-call or email to the vicar or churchwarden would be the best way to find out. The first thing to bear in mind, of course, is that a burial register entry doesn't guarantee that a headstone was ever erected.

Many of the graves in the churchyard St John's were in a poor condition: either they had broken / fallen down, or else the fresh Forest air meant that they were liberally covered with lichen and almost deciperable. It was worth the visit though, as I found the grave of my 2x great-grandparents, along with a couple of other more distant ancestors.

If you do visit then please be careful walking around: the fallen stones, long grass and somewhat uneven ground make it quite challenging underfoot.

Thanks for the reminder! I too found Cinderford St John's grave yard pretty tough going underfoot, just as JaneyH explained. I was searching (unsuccessfully)for my great grand parents grave and intend trying again next week whilst on holiday in the Vurrest. I'll now pack stout boots and walking poles!
