Can you ask edit to add a note that the remains have been moved to an unknown cemetery in Kentucky? There has to be disinterment information and a removal permit on file with the town that states to where the remains are being moved. At a minimum

No one really talked about genealogy in my family, especially on my Dad's side of the family. For fifty years, I felt my grandfather was all alone in that cemetery. Then I found him, and his family, here. Now the mystery is that double plot!

To make it even worse, the memorial is managed by a "Record Not Available" but is a close relative. (ETA: not of mine; but of the deceased) I may decide that I don't know anything until a year down the road or so. I just cannot afford to

Tell hubby to bring the deer along. We can roast it on a spit in the big fire place in the Great Hall. We need a mop already? Maybe we should roll up the carpets so the servers don't trip with our drinks again.

Advice we were given in another thread. "Photograph the grave/gravesite "in-situ", or as it appears in that moment in time. The purpose is to show the grave as it is, be it dirty, cluttered, broken, or pristine. It is not your job to

A city with 95,000 people & only one cemetery needed a sales campaign? Makes you wonder what was wrong with it.

Left as is, (for a short time) or deleted, until the cemetery in Kentucky is located. I'd give you thirty days. Kinda wondering, will the old plot be sold? Will it have a marker, with the new also getting a new marker? It could be designated a ceno

I too have made an effort of "finding the grave" for a few unknown burials. The easiest ones were right there in the obit posted on the memorial but I guess the obits weren't actually read before making those memorial!

Thanks, everyone. I'm one of those tiresome "rules followers." I (tactfully) explained why I wouldn't chalk the stone last year. It was in an older pioneer cemetery, not the one where I was today. This just had me stirred up. I'll refer t
