does anybody know how to find a grave site without knowing the cemetery?? i have the persons personal info, and its a recent death (2004) i have no idea how to go about doing this. i've tried some websites but they dont exactly seem credible and want money. i figure i'll have to pay for some type of transcipt but i want to make sure its the right one.
Are you just looking for the grave site within the cemetery, do you know where the cemetery is? Maybe you could ask at the city hall..
no, the problem is that i dont know which cementery it is i know its somewhere in this city but thats about it. i was thinking to look in the obituaries, but how would i get newspapers from last year??

I used to be pretty good at helping people who were interested in genealogy trying to located records/info for their family history. If you pm me with the person's name & any other info I'll look it up for you if you get stuck.
