Other sites like FindAGrave

Hello everyone. I've been collecting information to compare different sites that let users search for gravesites and cemetery records. So far, I know of FindAGrave, Interment.net, DeceasedOnline, and the Veteran's Graves....

Are there others that you know about? The more the, umm... merrier(?).

Thanks.

David

Hi David,
Have a look at the Tombstone Transcription Project at:

http://www.usgwtombstones.org/index.html

It's easy to navigate, with much information, but coverage is uneven.
Good hunting,
David

Grave Matters is an on-going project to ensure that the final resting places of famous horses, thoroughbred and non-thoroughbred alike, are not forgotten. Compiled here are the known burial locations of hundreds of top Thoroughbreds -- racers, important stallions and influential broodmares. Listed on the Non-Thoroughbred pages are the grave sites of champions of other breeds, war horses, television and movie star horses, and other notable horses. Whenever possible, a photo of the site, with a brief story about the horses, the owner and the farm is provided. Some of these sites have been developed for other uses and this record may be all there is left to remember the horses buried there. As a cross reference, to help the seeker find the nearest burials at which to pay their respects, the graves are resorted by geographic location, on the continents of Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, as well as the island nations of Australia and New Zealand.

Welcome to Garden of Shadows. I hope you enjoy your visit. I have been working on this site for several years now, and it has become a passion for me. I love being in a cemetery. It is almost spiritual. The beauty of the stones, the craftsmanship, the art. It all speaks to me. I guess I came by it naturally, having worked in a cemetery for about 10 years. I came to appreciate all of the hard work that goes into keeping the cemetery beautiful for the families of the deceased.
