Missouri Cemetery Records

To begin, add a cemetery record or view a list of locations and resources for Missouri cemetery records.

Missouri is a state filled with contrasts. You have wonderfully modern cities next to towns where it seems time has stood still for decades. You have some folks who are always rushing to get things done, and others who let the sultry Missouri summer heat cool down before they move a whole lot.

If you are currently in search of accurate and up to date Missouri cemetery records, your best bet is to contact the administration in charge of the particular burial site you believe your loved one is interred at. However, as is the case for many families that are tracing their family tree, if you don't know the exact cemetery, the following organizations may be able to assist you in your search.

First, start off with an organization called the Associated Cemeteries of Missouri. This is a group that works together to provide the best in landscaping, care and record keeping all over the state. There are also a whole host of military burial sites here, as well. The first is Jefferson Barracks. There are also sites in Jefferson City, as well as Springfield. The final one is the Union-Confederate Monument Site. To obtain any record, order online today.

The Look to the Past Cemetery Transcriptions page is the work of a private genealogist. The goal behind the site is to index all of the cemeteries in each county in Missouri, and volunteers help with the transcription process on a fairly regular basis. Here you'll find a direct transcription of the stone which often includes the first and last name, as well as the birth and death date. To retrieve Missouri burial records, follow the instructions below.

 

Listed below is address and contact information for various Missouri organizations relevant to cemetery records research.
