Learn about these records
There are over 900,000 entries in this record set. For each entry, you can view a transcript, which includes a link to an image of the headstone with GPS details. Transcripts will generally include the following information:
- First name(s)
- Last name
- Birth year and date
- Death year and date
- Cemetery
- City, county, and state
- Image link – by following this link, you can view an image of the actual headstone and glean additional information from the inscription.
Please note that some names in this index may refer to living people. This is the result of either people purchasing plots and headstones in advance or to people leaving space on a headstone for a surviving relative.
This index will be updated regularly throughout the year.
Cemetery records play a vital role in uncovering details about your ancestor, including birth and marriage dates.

However, in partnering with BillionGraves, we aim to make available the entire cemetery records held on their site for free, saving you time and money as you search for your ancestor. BillionGraves is the largest resource for GPS-tagged headstone and burial records on the web, with over 12 million headstone records.
