Dorothy taught us all that there is no place like home, and there is no place quite like Kansas for those that grew up here. There is even a growing population that has moved back to this Midwestern state to retire thanks to its quiet and serene atmosphere. If you are in search for Kansas cemetery records, it is a good idea to contact the cemetery personally to find out as much as you can. These state organizations may be able to help you, as well.

The Kansas Funeral Directors Association in Topeka may be able to point you in the right direction when it comes to uncovering the records you are looking for, especially if they are old. The state cemetery association is in charge of maintaining and improving conditions at cemeteries across the state. There are many old and worn burial sites in this state and it is only with the hard work of individuals in these organizations that these records can be maintained over the long term.

This state is also home to five different military cemeteries, including two in the Leavenworth area. If you need to order Kansas cemetery records, place your order online and have them shipped to your door.

The Kansas Tombstone Transcription Project is part of something much greater: the US Tombstone Transcription Project that is underwritten by US Gen Web. Wholly supported by volunteers, you can typically find an individual's name, birth date, death date, and any notes that were left on the tombstone. You can also often find the row and plot number for each headstone as well as information about the individual cemeteries. To retrieve Kansas burial records, follow the instructions below.
