If you are searching for South Carolina cemetery records, the best thing you can do is to order online and have the documents rushed to your front door. You can also attempt to contact the burial site directly to see if they have the records on file.

If you don't know the name of the cemetery or if you are missing other information, you can try to contact one of the following organizations to see if they can help you fill in the blanks. First, you can start with the South Carolina Cemetery Association and then move on to the South Carolina Funeral Directors Association. They both help burial sites and funeral homes maintain flawless records, even if the death was decades ago. There are also three major military cemeteries in South Carolina, as well. There is Beaufort National Cemetery, Florence National Cemetery and Fort Jackson National Cemetery. Place your order online and have it shipped to you fast.

The South Carolina Tombstone Transcription project is not unique. It's part of something much larger than itself. The US Tombstone Transcription project, a small part of US Gen Web's efforts to document genealogical records online for all to view, has a goal of preserving stones across America, and South Carolina, before they're too difficult to read. Volunteers offer transcriptions of stones and photos in some cases. To retrieve South Carolina burial records, follow the instructions below.
