Finding a Cemetery

Death records can provide a lot of useful information that can further your search efforts. A death certificate will typically include a person's marital status, the cause of death, date and place of death, as well as birth information. Often times, death records will also include a person's occupation, as well.

Getting death records varies from state to state. Some states have more comprehensive records than others. The Bureau of Vital Statistics in each state can guide you through the process of obtaining death records.
