Cemetery Pages

Profile manager: Cemeterist Project WikiTree [send private message]

One of the goals of the Cemeterist Project is to have a free space page created for every cemetery across the world. These are linked to the specific cemetery categories where profiles can be found, and help to document the rich history (and interesting notes) about these cemeteries.

Each page should strive to have a photograph of the cemetery entrance, the address of the cemetery, GPS coordinates if known, the approximate number of graves (if known), the date range of the graves (earliest known burial), notable people buried in the cemetery (with links to their profiles). These pages should also be categorized to their applicable cemetery category and location category.

Note: These pages should not contain photographs of every single grave as these photographs should be on the profiles of the individuals themselves.

For examples of how Cemetery pages should be ideally formatted, see: Sterling-White Cemetery, Highlands, Texas and Category: Cemeterist Project Example Pages.

If you need to create a new free-space page for a cemetery:

• go to the Add/New Thing option under the 'Add' Menu in the toolbar.
• add the name of the cemetery (and location) in the Title field. This name should match the category!
• add the cemeteries tag, as well as any county, state, province, or territory tags (as applicable) to the Surnames/tags field.
• if there is a known range of burials, you can add this information to the Start and End date fields. If burials are still allowed, please do not add a End date! If this information is not known, please leave them blank!
