A few days ago, a Mortuary notice in the Phila Inquirer newspaper for one of my kin showed she was buried in Mount Peace Cemetery. On the genweb archive board a phone number is given for contact, showing records are under Lawnview Cemetery. So today I called that number to find out if the mother and spouse were buried there. I was told to send a letter, no email, to their address in Rockledge PA with $20.00 and they would provide a genealogy report on the names. Is this customary for cemeteries in Phila area? I have never been asked for a letter and money for others in Chester and Berks Co. My experience in Berks and Chester has been an answer while on the phone! Or an email reply within a day....... Just wondering? Diana in AL
I have never paid for any information pertaining to cemetery plots and I have been to a lot of them. Twenty dollars? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Quinones" <audianaq@msn.com> To: <philly-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 8:33 PM Subject: [Phly-Rts] Mount Peace and Lawnview Cemeteries >A few days ago, a Mortuary notice in the Phila Inquirer newspaper for one of my kin showed she was buried in Mount Peace Cemetery. > On the genweb archive board a phone number is given for contact, showing records are under Lawnview Cemetery. > > So today I called that number to find out if the mother and spouse were buried there.
