Cemetery Surveys

Cemetery surveys involve systematically documenting graves, tombstones, and other historical features within a cemetery. This process typically includes recording information such as names, dates, and inscriptions on headstones, as well as mapping the cemetery layout. These surveys serve to preserve historical records, assist genealogical research, and contribute to heritage conservation. Researchers and volunteers often conduct these surveys to uncover and preserve the stories of individuals buried there, providing valuable insights into local history and cultural heritage. The data collected can be used for academic studies, restoration efforts, and community projects.
