Instruction manual
1
Contact the cemetery administration. This method will help you only if you know the name of the cemetery where the person was buried. Each cemetery maintains an archival burial base. Indicate the surname, name, patronymic of the person you are looking for, as well as the approximate or exact time of his death. You will be provided with an extract from archival data on which the quarter of the cemetery with the wanted grave will be indicated. Then go on your own to the desired quarter and examine all the graves. Check the information about the wanted person with inscriptions on the graves. Some burial sites may remain unattended for a long time, as a result of which signs will be damaged, so the search may be delayed.
2
Contact the registry office or other authority to determine the place of burial. In this case, you need to know the surname, first name, middle name of the wanted person, date or at least the year of death and the address where the person lived during his lifetime. According to the data provided, the registry office employees will find the person by his death certificate and indicate the name of the cemetery and its quarter, where the burial place is located.

Contact a church to provide records of a person’s death. This method will help you if you know in which church the burial ceremony was held. Here you will be helped to find the necessary information about the burial place in church records.

Check military records. This method is suitable for those who are looking for a person who died as a military or veteran. You can establish the burial place if you know the surname, first name, patronymic of the deceased, date of birth, personal social security number and military identification number, as well as service departments, date of military operations and the state in which the burial was carried out.

Review the obituaries that were published during the alleged death of the wanted person. Compare all records with the data you know about the person. Ask people living in the same area as the deceased person. Perhaps some of them know useful information that will lead you to the burial place.
