How can I find out where in a cemetery someone is buried? If you are a relative, you can contact the cemetery's business office and ask for the location of the individual grave. They may request that you come in and they'll give you a map of the cemetery with your loved one's "spot" marked off.
Most community, church, or municipal cemeteries have caretakers or offices. Those offices hold burial registries for the cemeteries. Those collections of records are known as sexton's records. Sexton's records often include details about which plots are owned, occupied, and available for sale.
Often, a cemetery will issue a ``deed'' at the sale of a grave space or lot of graves. This deed is NOT an issuance of any real estate. It is, in fact, a promissory note which prevents the cemetery from using that, particular space to bury anyone else.
Private Graves If you decide to have a headstone placed on the grave in memory of your loved one, then the upkeep of it is the responsibility of the grave owner. The placing of fresh flowers and subsequent removal when they have died is the responsibility of the grave owner.
Graveyards are traditionally run by a church and located on the churchyard, or on the grounds or campus of a church. Cemeteries, on the other hand, are generally not associated with any particular church but are, instead, run by a council and located apart from any particular church.
