    1. RE: [ON-CEM] Buried elsewhere
    2. Janine
    3. In my experience I have found that just because the name is on the stone doesn't mean they are buried there. I have one cemetery that I am doing where the name is on one stone in one row yet the person is really buried about 4 rows over along with another stone. You will also get the names put down of those killed in the war yet it may not say that on the stone. Or in the case of one spouse dying early and the other remarrying or even the names of the children put on a stone when they aren't buried there. My mother's name is on my fathers stone and it is a large stone so one would assume she will be buried there but she now lives 200 miles away with her new husband of 35 years and won't be buried with my dad at all. It helps if you can get the cemetery records and that will tell if the person is really buried there or not. Some people will give them to you and others won't. Janine
