    1. Cemeteries
    2. Hi, again; Just thought I'd pass this along on the same subject. All the good advice here about leaving cards, messages, contact information in the cemetery office is very good ---IF there is such a thing. We've traveled quite a few places and lots of cemeteries do not have anyone around who can tell you anything about the burial spots, etc. Sometimes even the local message boards and mailing lists can only give some ideas. So, by all means, if you can -- leave some kind of note on the grave. Another caution -- some cemeteries do not like you to leave such things and may consider it "litter". If you do get some kind of contact before you visit -- ask for permission to leave a note at the gravesite! Best wishes, Ann

    3. If there is no office for a cemetery, I'd suggest contacting a local funeral home and ask them whom to contact.
