Cemetery registry

A cemetery registry is a detailed record maintained by a cemetery that documents information about the interments, including the names of those buried there, dates of birth and death, plot locations, and sometimes additional details like next of kin or memorial inscriptions. It serves as an official ledger to help locate and manage burial plots, ensuring accurate record-keeping for families, cemetery staff, and historical purposes. This registry can be maintained physically in a ledger or digitally in a database, providing a reliable way to access burial information over time.
