Quoting from Erin Harris:

"Finding death records and even visiting cemeteries to learn about our ancestors can be an important piece to genealogy research.
Sometimes visiting a cemetery just isn’t possible because of travel or other limitations.
Here’s a website that has a mission to document every headstone from every cemetery in the world in their searchable online database with an image and geographic location that is accessible to anyone, everywhere."
