The ones I have dealt with have went out of their way to help. I have gotten Death Certificates for FREE from them and they can tell you the name of the Cemetery where the person was buried and sometimes they have some of the Funeral Home Handout cards left over in the persons folder that will tell that info as well. You are right, not much is being said on the mailing list about this source to check for info on your ancestors. One thing I will note is that you need to know what year the person died in order for them to locate that person in their files. Hope this helps you in some way. Join Now!
