Just received an email:

Over the next few weeks, all records for seven cemeteries and the crematorium managed by Calderdale Council in West Yorkshire will be added. Immediately available are records for ... Brighouse Cemetery and Lister Lane (aka Halifax General) Cemetery in Halifax.

Latest email:

With the addition of two cemeteries and the area's main crematorium, deceasedonline now has records available for all locations in the Calderdale Council area in West Yorkshire, England.
There are now over 200,000 individual records across the seven cemeteries and the crematorium managed by Calderdale Council. The latest additions are for Sowerby Bridge Cemetery and, in Halifax, Stoney Royd Cemetery and Park Wood Crematorium. The earliest burial records are from 1861 and the crematorium dates from 1956.

Ancestry now has a searchable index for Deceased Online, which may be worth trying as it will be more flexible than the one on Deceased Online's own website:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=70845

At the moment, as with all ancestry's databases when they are first launched, there are error messages.

Highgate Cemetery in London has been added, but of course I only saw it when I'm about to eat! Hoping to find some of mine in there later.

My great-grandparents and my great-great-aunt are buried in Highgate Cemetery in the same grave. We visited the grave a few years ago but had to wait for them to clear it as it was very overgrown. I do wonder if I have any other family members there.

I found my 2xg-grandparents and 3xg-grandmother are all buried in the same grave in Highgate Cemetery, but it is in "Square 35" which seems to be in the West Cemetery, which apparently can't be visited by unaccompanied members of the public, only on guided tours, and there seems to be no way of finding out exactly where the grave is without paying them £25 - and it would be £40 if I didn't have the grave number and square from Deceased Online.
