How do you find in which cemetery a relative is buried?  I actually have a death certificate for a relative but can't find where he's buried.  Do you just call the cemeteries and ask them?  Or, is there somewhere to research?

Tanya,   Are you trying to find where someone was buried in New Orleans? This can often be challenging.   Tell us what you already know about your person (e.g., name, date of death, place of death, date of birth, name of spouse, where did the person live, etc.). Have you looked for an obituary?   There are many cemeteries in New Orleans, so it would be difficult to “just call the cemeteries.” There are things you can do depending on what the circumstances are of the person you’re looking for.   Norm ________________________________ From: Tanya <tanya273@yahoo.com> How do you find in which cemetery a relative is buried?  I actually have a death certificate for a relative but can't find where he's buried.  Do you just call the cemeteries and ask them?  Or, is there somewhere to research?
