Names In Stone
Map-based cemetery records for genealogy and grave research.
Names In Stone is a cemetery-records site built around interactive maps of cemeteries and individual graves. Users can search by person or cemetery, create mapped cemetery projects, and attach deceased-person records to grave locations. The site also supports member tools such as saved searches, watch lists, contribution history, and cemetery projects.
Why it stands out
- Combines burial records with map-based grave locations rather than treating records as text-only entries.
- Supports cemetery-level mapping projects, useful for documenting cemeteries that are not already well indexed.
- Accepts recurring record uploads from cemetery organizations, which can make some collections more current than static transcriptions.
- Includes watch lists and saved-search tools for users monitoring specific burials or cemeteries.
Good to know
- Coverage depends on participating cemetery organizations and user-contributed mapping, so records are not comprehensive for all cemeteries.
- Some functions appear to require member registration or sign-in.
- The page references membership plans, but the extracted text does not show what access is free versus paid.
Under the radar: If a name search comes up empty, try searching by cemetery and browsing the mapped graves, since some entries may be easier to discover through the cemetery map than through an exact-name query.
