I was searching for the cemetery where my great-grandparents, grand-uncle, aunt, and their son are buried. I knew the name of the church but it had been closed, as far as administration, with services only on Sundays by a visiting priest. The church's old phone number forwarded to another parish and they didn't know where the cemetery was. The city is quite large so it was going to be a lengthy search. I found an area with several small church cemeteries so I went there to search.

The tip I'd like to share is to go to the local monument manufacturer. I stopped in and they knew right where to send me. The church's cemetery was very small and was in an area with about a dozen or so others. I quickly found the graves I was looking for and one for a grand-aunt I didn't know of. If the monument company could not have helped, I would have tried funeral homes near the church for information.
