Question:

How do i find my uncles grave, i only know the town that he use to live in?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd check with the local jurisdiction - city, county, etc - to see where he's buried, that information should be on file. Once you have that information, if you call the cemetery office or church they should be able to tell you exactly where a person is buried.

I had a great uncle one time who died in an auto accident back in the 1940s. I knew the cemetery he was buried in, so I went to the cemetery office one morning, and they were not only able to tell me where he was buried, but even provided me with a map of the cemetery with the approximate location of the grave marked.

You might also want to consider going to a site like findagrave.com to see if your uncle has been listed in the database.
