Last updated: April 21, 2026

These terms describe the basic conditions for using the archive responsibly. They are meant to set expectations around public records, site availability, and appropriate use of the content.

By using Cemetery Finders, you agree to use the site lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with access, integrity, or public trust.

No guarantee of completeness

Records may be incomplete, historical, delayed, or subject to source-level errors. Users should verify important facts with official custodians.

Acceptable use

Users should not attempt to disrupt the site, extract data in abusive ways, misrepresent the archive as an official government service, or reuse the content in a misleading manner. The site is designed for reference, discovery, and research support.

Availability and changes

Pages, features, and datasets may change over time as the archive evolves. A page existing today does not guarantee that every field, route, or feature will remain identical in the future.

Terms summary

  • Use the site lawfully and respectfully.
  • Verify important facts with official custodians when needed.
  • Do not treat archive pages as a substitute for legal, genealogical, or government advice.
Important: archive content can help users discover records and places, but it should not be relied on as the sole authority for high-stakes decisions.
