Tips on Finding Your Ancestor's Burial Place

Unfortunately, there is no single master list of all people buried in Erie County. One must determine the correct cemetery, and second, find the burial plot. If the family does not already know, the cemetery might be identified: On the death certificate In funeral home records In obituaries or death notices Internment lists online, such as

If these sources are unavailable, educated guessing begins. Was the deceased... A member of a church that owned a cemetery? A member of a particular ethnic or religious group with a dedicated cemetery? A veteran of a particular war that had dedicated cemeteries? A member of a family who owned a family plot?

There is also the possibility that there is no grave or cemetery record. Why? The deceased's remains could not be recovered (war, fire, natural disaster, accident, lost at sea) The deceased died far from home and the family could not afford to ship the remains back The deceased was buried in a Potter's Field The deceased was buried in a cemetery for which records have been lost or destroyed The deceased was cremated or donated their remains to science

In rural areas, keep in mind that burial plots might have been or could still be located on private property.

See also Church Records in Microfilm and Print, in the subject guide handout rack next to the Reference Desk. Church records that include burials and deaths are listed. This and other guides are available online at:

See also Cemeteries in Western New York, Binder #7 at the Grosvenor (GRO) Information Desk. Divided into the 8 counties of WNY, it has narrative descriptions as well as cemetery locations.

About these Records

The Library has collected burial records or tombstone inscriptions from over 150 cemeteries in Erie County. While we also have cemetery records from many other places, this list is limited to Erie County. Our collection is not comprehensive, as many burial grounds have come and gone without any surviving records.

Please note that cemetery books and records are not all shelved in the same place. This list features items shelved in the following places:
