'''Types of care for Human Burial''': earth burial, cremation, sea burial, entombment, donation to science, and cryogenic. Several types of cemetery records are available. Rural public cemeteries are under the infrastructure administration of the rural municipality, and urban public cemeteries by the local civic government (city hall). Caretakers or cemetery maintainence committees are usually appointed by the municipal government. Churches maintain church yards, and private land owners maintain homesteader burial sites. The municipal government may have kept internment records of the names and dates of those buried and maps of the burial plots in public cemeteries. Some churches have kept burial records that may give birth, marriage and other family or health details.<br> | '''Types of care for Human Burial''': earth burial, cremation, sea burial, entombment, donation to science, and cryogenic.

Tombstones or gravestones may also exist, or the information on them may have been transcribed. In Saskatchewan many local organisations are working at photographing, video taping and transcribing the cemeteries. Cemetery burial records, sometimes called internment records, often include birth, marriage, and death information. These records along with symbols on a gravestone may provide clues about military service, religion, or membership in an organization, such as a lodge. These records are especially helpful for identifying children who died young or women who were not recorded in family or government documents. Visit the cemetery in person to see if other relatives are in the same or adjoining plots. | Tombstones or gravestones may also exist, or the information on them may have been transcribed.
