Interment (website)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interment (or Interment.net) is an on-line database of transcriptions from grave markers.
Interment.net is intended to be a research tool for genealogists and historians. The information on this web site is limited to information transcribed from grave markers at cemeteries as well as obtained from burial records. The data fields include surname, given name, birth date, birth place, death date, death place, age inscription, and notes. The purpose of the website is to make information from grave marker inscriptions available to researchers who might not be able to visit the actual sites of the grave stones.
The website is not intended to provide on-line memorials. The records contain no biographical information or other information which goes beyond the scope of the definition of burial records. The reason for this is that there are already other websites (such as Find A Grave) which provide a combination of on-line grave records and memorials. Interment.net tries to provide an on-line tool that is more useful to researchers by limiting the information in the records to what is actually inscribed on the grave markers.
