Many may be wondering, what is a virtual cemetery?
Simply put, it’s not a real cemetery. Rather, it is a linked alphabetical index of members, congregants, affiliates, and supporters who have passed on. It affords you the ability to instantly determine the actual location of a grave (if one exists) and to pay respects to the deceased by leaving notes/virtual flowers.
We call this virtual, whereas it transverses geographical boundaries of a final resting place and is not dependent upon location of cemetery.
Better yet, it is not dependent upon actual burial. Thus, those cremated, as well as those where final resting places are unknown (i.e. lost at sea) may also be included.
The virtual cemetery pages list the deceased with links to the individual’s own memorial page. Where possible, we try to include a picture, photo of the gravestone and obituary. We also try to link to other family members memorial pages.
Do you know of a deceased member, congregant, affiliate, or supporter, not currently listed here? Can you provide any additional information for those already listed here? Where known, the information we seek includes;
full name (including maiden name)
date and place of birth
obituary
photographs
names of parents/siblings
gravestone pictures
does the person already have a memorial page at findagrave.com?
