Buddist Ban Naloa, Wapipathum Village temple destroyed walls process labeled bone ashes of villagers
How can I find the records from the Buddhist temple destroyed about 10 years ago? This temple was in the village of Ban Nalao. In its walls are the bone ashes of people of the village. I believe its a type of death and a great source if someone took to record the names on the walls before its destruction.

I searched for a long time about the specific Buddhist Temple, but was unable to find it.
When I searched for Wapipathum, I got this information: Wapi Pathum District, Maha Sarakham Province, NE Thailand
When I searched Ban Naloa, I got: Pannanikom District, Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand
I did find information about Buddhist records kept in the temples that shows the records might not have been located anywhere else except with the families of those buried there:
Buddhist Records
Buddhist temples keep records of death and cremations performed by and for the temple, and names of pilgrims visiting the temple. These records are kept at each temple. Death and cremation records may contain additional information on the deceased's family members. In connection with a cremation many families prepare a book about the deceased, giving vital statistical details along with personal accomplishments and honors they may have received. If the person was a scholar, a copy of one or two significant papers they authored may be included. If the deceased had family members living outside the country a reminiscence about the deceased may also be included. These are often in the language spoken in that country. These books are kept by the family and a copy is donated to the temple where the cremation was performed.
