The criteria for a cemetery to be listed is a bit ambiguous,
but cemeteries that have an identified location are included.
Cemeteries with UNKNOWN location are also included if there is
sufficient evidence that they existed and they are not already
in the database under another name.
This site is designed from the perspective of the cemetery
name and location. It is currently not possible to do a
"lookup" of a particular burial on this site. Other sites
like FindaGrave provide that function and do a good job of it.
We also do not use Township names, except maybe in the
Additional Information files. For locations we only classify
cemeteries by State, County, and Lat/Long.
The area covered is currently the 50 United States. There are
plans to expand it to other countries, but that is a future item.
Gathering data for the 50 United States is a daunting task.
We estimate that this depository holds less than 20% of the
cemeteries in the US, and very likely less than 10%. The
current record count is in excess of 147,800 cemeteries. Some
states have very few records, like AK (19 records) and AZ
(316 records) and UT (420 records). Others have quite a few,
like TN (12,740 records) and GA (6,040 records).
We encourage you to contribute any information on cemeteries that
you may have. Any information you supply is much appreciated, but
notices of single burials will probably not show up on the website.
That information will be included in the main database however.
This site was started in late 2008 and is updated every couply of months.

Yes, the appearance of this website is pretty crude. My HTML
skills are severely lacking. But it is likely to improve with
time.
