Generally you can calculate the date of burial from the information included in the obituary or death notice for people who died in the 20th and 21st century. 19th century notices are less likely to include this information, but sometimes they do. If the cemetery keeps records, they usually will have a listing of burials by the date they took place. This information is sometimes included in the records for the individual cemetery lot or records for individuals buried in the lot.

Please, please do not enter a burial date unless you have specific knowledge that it did indeed happen on that date. If an individual died on the first of the month it does not necessarily follow that he/she was buried that month. Many factors such as war casualty, frozen ground, probate battles, foreign death etc. etc. can delay for substantial periods. Never assume........... TomM -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
