Each of us from time to time needs to visit the graves of our deceased relatives. However, sometimes this is fraught with difficulties if you did not attend the funeral and do not know where the grave you need is located on.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to solve this problem is to find the closest relatives of the deceased. Most likely, they will be able to explain to you where the grave is, or give its "address", that is, the number of the block and burial in the cemetery. Arriving at the cemetery itself, ask the guard or administrator to show you the burial plan (if you do not see it immediately upon entering), which will be easy to navigate.
Step 2
If it was not possible to find the closest relatives of the deceased, and you will have to search for his burial yourself, you need to have a minimum of information about him. You probably know your first and last name. The dates of birth and death will also be needed. If they are known, very well. If not, then contact the registry office of the city or region where the sought-after person lived on the eve of his death.
Step 3
Having received information about the date of death of the deceased, go to the cemetery where he was buried. Upon arrival, contact the cemetery administration. Having provided the last name, first name and patronymic of the person you are looking for, as well as the exact or approximate time of his death, you can get an extract from the archive, which must be kept at every cemetery. Keep in mind that not all cemeteries have an administrator on duty all day. In most cases, they are most likely to be found on site at the end or beginning of the working day.
Step 4
The extract from the archive data, which you will receive from the cemetery administration, will indicate the quarter in which the grave you are looking for is located. You can conduct further searches yourself. Go to the indicated area and go around all the graves, reading the inscriptions on them. Of course, the longer the burial is left unattended, the more difficult it will be to find it.
Step 5
If you need to find the grave of a famous person, go to the Internet. Now on the World Wide Web, many sites of similar subjects have been created, on which you can find a burial place of both an ordinary person and a popular one.
