  Publication: Online database Note: The Databases
  The searchable Burials and Cemeteries databases are a product of the Utah Cemetery Inventory Project which includes names and other genealogical information about people who are buried in Utah cemeteries. The names in the database come principally from cemeteries receiving grants to help them computerize their data. These participating cemeteries do not conduct grave marker surveys. Instead, they use the grant funds to convert sexton records to electronic databases and geographic information systems. These systems help them manage their cemeteries. They send the data they gather to the Utah State Historical Society for inclusion in this database. Another source is volunteers (local genealogists and cemetery buffs) who have recorded grave marker information for small, inactive and abandoned cemeteries and passed it along to us. A third source is cemeteries that have already entered their records into a digital format and donate it to the project.
  The Utah Cemetery Inventory Project
  The first part of the project involves a survey of all of the cemeteries in the state. Information, such as the name, location and ownership information, as well as the age of the cemetery and the number burials, is being collected and stored in a database that will also be searchable on this website.
  Part of the challenge is finding all of the small and abandoned cemeteries that may be scattered about. So far, surveys have been completed on about 286 cemeteries. You can help add to this total! If you have information on a cemetery in your area that is not in the database, please download and fill out a survey form. The one page form should only take a few minutes to complete. Please mail, fax or e-mail it to us at the address listed below.
  The second part of the project involves the creation of the computer database that contains names and burial locations for everyone in Utah's cemeteries. Local communities and nonprofit organizations have a vital role in the collection of data, and matching grants are available to them. With these monies, communities can transfer cemetery records from the books, card files and maps to a geographical information system, which links computer maps with databases.
  In addition to locating cemeteries, we also need the names of those buried in small or abandoned cemeteries. If you have recorded the names from a cemetery that is not in the database, please contact us.
  Disclaimer
  This database is intended to be a repository for cemetery records, both written and off of grave markers. It is not intended to contain all available information available on the deceased. Also, because this is an ongoing project, not every cemetery is represented yet. If you used the tips on the help page and still can't find a name, it is probable that the person is buried in a cemetery not yet in the database. Check the List of Cemeteries to see which cemeteries currently have names in the database. Use the contact information below if you have a specific question.
