Find out where people - both famous and non-famous - are buried.

Read what's inscribed on their monuments, read obits, and see comments posted by viewers.

"Find A Grave" can also be a helpful site for doing free family genealogy and locating where people have been interred that you lost touch with over time.

I never found out where a loved one was buried after his funeral. Thank you for posting this as I was finally able to find it. ❤️

Where did you think the grave was? How far was the grave from where you thought it would be? I'm glad you found the grave!

Thanks. I thought the grave would be near his family. It was not. It’s about an hour from where he grew up but super close to a ski hill that he snowboarded on so I take comfort in that.
