Cemetery Directory USAbrings the country's cemetery records together in one searchable directory, organized by state, county and city. We started from federal and open map data so that small family plots and rural churchyards sit alongside large memorial parks and national cemeteries.
Our principles
- Facts over filler. Every number on the site is calculated from the data. We don't call a cemetery the best, largest or oldest unless a figure backs it.
- Say what we don't know. Unknown services show as “Not available”, never as a guess.
- Correctable. Every listing can be corrected by the people who know it best.

Who runs this site
Cemetery Directory USA is an independent directory maintained by Daan Koeman. There is no cemetery, funeral home or monument company behind it, which is why listings are never ranked or described for commercial reasons. Questions, corrections and data requests go through the contact page; every correction is reviewed by a person before it is published.
How the directory is kept current
The data is rebuilt from public sources on a regular schedule, and every listing shows when it was last updated. Cemetery staff, families and visitors can suggest corrections from any listing page; reviewed changes go live with a fresh verification date. Listings we cannot confirm are marked “Not available” rather than guessed at. See how the data works.
The site is free to use and supported by advertising. Advertising never affects which cemeteries are listed or how they are described.
