Death, Burial, Cemetery & Obituaries

In a few of the death records collections on Ancestry, you will find the indexes that link to images of actual birth records. In other cases, there are indexes that contain information that will help you request the record. If you find your ancestor in an index, be sure to click on the database title and look at the description to learn how to request the actual death record. The full record will typically include details not found in the index. 

Project: Cemeterist

The overall goal of the Cemeterist Project is to document the world’s cemeteries and those who are interred there in order to create and connect profiles of our deceased ancestors using  original content . Cemeterists also serve as a local resource for photography, transcription, and research needs for existing ancestor profiles.
