Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

The Cleveland Catholic Cemeteries Association Burials Are Partially On-Line AND Important Information to Know Regarding Black Granite Markers Installed at Cleveland Catholic Cemeteries

Sharing a link HERE for the Cleveland Catholic Cemeteries Association Log-In Page for their online burials.

From the website of the Cleveland Catholic Cemeteries Association: 

"Find the burial location of a family member or friend

Over the past two years the Catholic Cemeteries Association has embarked upon the consolidation of all burial records into a centralized database. The following cemeteries have been uploaded into the centralized database: All Saints, Northfield; All Souls, Chardon; Resurrection, Valley City; and St. Joseph, Avon.
Work is ongoing on the following cemeteries: Calvary, Cleveland; Holy Cross, Akron; and Holy Cross, Brook Park.
To search our database for names and burial locations, you will need to create an account using the link below. We will email you when the database becomes available."

I wish to add that I did experience an "application error" when clicking a "2" for a page 2 when searching for the surname of "Ellis" at All Saints Cemetery.  Thus, it is possible, you may receive an error during your search after logging on to search for a burial; following your registration which you will need to do in order to use the burial search.
