Interment.net

Interment.net is a United States–based website containing a free online database of transcriptions from headstones, intended to be a research tool for use by genealogists and historians.

[5] The coverage of data addresses the problem for scholars and genealogists who cite the way cemetery records tend to be incomplete while some transcripts are inaccurate.

[1][independent source needed] Online cemetery databases with similar features include Findagrave.com and Billiongraves.com.

In 1998, the site started accepting cemetery transcriptions directly; to stop the personal website from being overwhelmed, the page author registered the domain name "interment.net" in December 1998 and moved to a separate web hosting service.

Volunteers for these websites describe their labor as a "genealogical kindness," of particular service to those researching their ancestry.
