Q. I have looked on your website for a friend or relative, but their burial record is not listed.  Do you have any additional information on their his or her burial location?

A. People often contact us to ask about a burial record that is not included on the searchable online database.  All of our burial records are included in the database.  If you cannot find the information on our website, we do not have the information.  We encourage you to contact the Warsaw Historical Society or the Hancock County Historical Society.  They may be able to help.  Their information also includes other local cemeteries.  If you believe that our records are in error or that we have omitted a specific burial record, please contact us.  If we can locate documentation to support your position, our website will be amended to reflect the change.
