Cemeteries & Headstones

Genealogists and historians have long had a fascination with cemeteries and headstones. Depending upon what part of the world you live in and even which part of the country, there may be different burial customs for your ancestors. Headstones and burial markers can provide basic vital information or in some cases can include an entire lineage or story of a unique historical event. Even the stone itself can yield clues when information is no longer legible. In the coming months, we plan to provide a means of listing all cemeteries located anywhere in the world. With your help, we'll be able to connect descendants to the final resting place of their ancestors.

Please be patient while we work to expand the content on our site. If you have expertise in either cemeteries or headstones and are interested in sharing information for the benefit of others, please contact us. In the mean time, you may enjoy the following sites:
