Why is this so different from other cemetery websites? Because you can access the records for every grave right from the map. You can search a listing of multiple cemeteries, view actual grave locations on a map, and then see the record for a deceased person by clicking on the grave. You can see who is buried next to whom, which helps establish family relationships and solve family research mysteries. It's almost like really visiting the cemetery!
