Missing Death Certificates

We try, as much as possible, to link cemetery listings to their death certificates at the Missouri State Archives database, but some of them are hard to find. If you have a few minutes on a rainy day, we could sure use the help. We have a list of burials that we should have death certificates for, but don’t. It could be an out-of-state death, an indexing error or a typo — or just a need for fresh eyes. If you’ve found any of these, please email Kris.

New Cemetery Indexes

We’ve added some new features. We have a new cemetery page that lists all of the cemeteries that we have information for.

We’ve also added a cemetery surname index and a cemetery maiden name index. Hopefully these will help you find the people you are looking for.

As always, if you have obituaries, photos or newspaper articles that relate to any of the cemetery entries, please send them to Kris.

Check the Photo Directories

Because of configuration issues, the updated cemetery listings will only have one grave marker link. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t additional views of the stone. This is especially true of the very old tombstones. Kelly takes pictures from several different angles on these.

Every cemetery with photographs has a “Photos” link. Check there for additional images.

Update — John and Amanda Piepergerdes

There is a tombstone for John and Amanda Piepergerdes at the DeKalb Cemetery, but the stone does not include any vital information for John. His death certificate indicates that he was buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Not wanting to leave any loose ends, Kelly contacted the cemetery and found John. Surprisingly enough, she found a marker for Amanda there, too! It has not yet been determined if Amanda’s body was actually moved to Memorial Park Cemetery in St. Joseph, or if a marker was just placed there for her.
