As a general comment to the advice on finding a married name on burial. Even though the surviving family member might not like the outcome and if the burial took place after death certificates became mandatory. The person is NORMALLY buried under their legal name, i.e. the name they had legally at the time of death, no body gets a vote. As an example. my Great grandmother died in St. Louis in 1913. The Cemetery in St. Louis carries her record under her second husbands name, while the tombstone has the name of her first husband, no one in the family liked the 2nd husband so he sort of disappears from the family memory. This is one of the reasons I don't care for cemetery surveys. While on this soapbox, one should always be cautious when dealing with published cemetery surveys. On the average only about 60 percent of burials in any given cemeteries have tombstones, which is normally how these surveys are made. The actual cemetery record is the final resource. Another example all cemeteries have memorial stones, these may not even be over a grave. For example the National Cemeteries have many tombstones where there are no bodies, men and women who were lost during wars, even though their body was never found they still were authorized a tombstone, which would be either placed in a National Cemetery or wherever the family desired.
