Cemetery records often give more information than church burial records and may include the deceased’s name, age, date of death or burial, birth year or date of birth, age, relatives, and sometimes marriage information. They may also provide clues about an ancestor’s military service, religion, occupation, place of residence at time of death, or membership in an organization.
