You can map a cemetery.
Use new technology to map a cemetery on-line and digitally preserve headstone information. A great project for Genealogists, Boy Scouts, and Families.
What you need to know
There are two classifications of cemeteries
Class A Cemeteries—managed cemeteries, usually more than 200 graves. These cemeteries are mapped by the managing organization.
HOW TO MAP CLASS A:
A Class A cemetery is managed by a public agency such as a city, county, cemetery district, or a private entity such as a funeral home or church. If you know of a Class A cemetery you would like added to this website, contact the management of the cemetery and inform them of this site. Encourage them to complete the Attached Questionnaire and fax it to 801-226-0394. A NAMES IN STONE representative will contact them with pricing and funding suggestions.
