Thanks. > > sbernelli@hotmail.com You don't say what country you're searching, but in my experience in the US, you can just go to the cemetery and they will provide the information they have. However, be aware they may have very little. Depending on how long ago the person died, the size of the cemetery, and how organized the cemetery may be, they may only be able to provide grave location, date of interrment, date of death, and burial society, if any. Many times, I've found that cemeteries have not had next of kin contact information available. For 19th century burials, they may have only a 3x5 card with minimal info on it, if that.
