Life sometimes develops in such a way that we cannot be present at the burial or burial of a loved one or a person we know. But soon there may appear a desire to pay the last honors to the deceased, and here the problem of finding a burial place arises. In the modern world, such situations happen quite often, so it is worth knowing what actions are taken if necessary.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact the cemetery administration. This method will only help you if you know the name of the cemetery where the person was buried. Each cemetery maintains an archival base of burials. Indicate the last name, first 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 the archive data, which will indicate the quarter of the cemetery with the wanted grave. Then go to the desired quarter on your own and inspect all the graves. Check the details of the wanted person with the inscriptions on the graves. Some burial sites can be left unattended for a long time as a result of which the plates will be damaged, so the search may take a long time.
Step 2
Contact the registry office or other authority to establish the burial site. In this case, you need to know the last name, first name, patronymic of the wanted person, the 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 on his death certificate and indicate the name of the cemetery and its quarter where the burial site is located.
Step 3
Contact your church to provide the person's death records. This method will help you if you know in which church the burial ceremony took place. Here you will be helped to find the necessary information about the burial place in the church records.
Step 4
Check military reports. This method is suitable for those who are looking for a person who died as a soldier or veteran. You can determine the burial place if you know the last name, first name, patronymic of the deceased, his date of birth, personal social security number and military identification number, as well as service departments, the date of hostilities and the state in which the burial was carried out.
Step 5
Analyze obituaries that were published during the alleged death of the wanted person. Compare all records with the person you know about. Ask people in the same area as the deceased person. Perhaps some of them know useful information for you, which will lead you to the burial site.
