Hi Cheryl, Most of the time people are buried where it says in their Obit. But, sometimes they are not. Don't overlook that possibility. Also, sometimes people's remains are moved from one cemetery to another for one reason or another. You did not say what year your Gr. grandmother died? Good Luck in your search!

I looked up the Death Record for an individual the other day. It stated that the man had died at U of Iowa Hospital and the body had been donated for research. His obit has him buried in Shell Rock, where I found his grave. The grave stone has his name on it. What do suppose is under that stone?
