Greetings listers, After reading Chris Warren's message about the loss of early cemetery records, I thought I would ask for some general comments. It must be quite common for someone to know which cemetery a relative is buried in, but not to know the exact gravesite because early grave markers have been lost or destroyed in the actual cemetery. Since many early markers were wooden, this is unfortunately inevitable. Added to that is the loss of early cemetery records from fire or some other cause. So if both the site and the record are lost, it can be almost impossible to know exactly where a person is buried. So I'm wondering - if someone wanted to put up some kind of marker, say a cross or a plaque, stating that it preserves the memory of the named people who are known to be buried here but the exact site is unknown, can this be done? Surely in small cemeteries or old cemeteries it should not be too difficult. I can't believe that every cemetery trust would quote $600 or more, as Barbara found with Eaglehawk. Or maybe I'm naïve, and that is in fact the going rate for such a thing? Julie H.
