Some landowners who have cemeteries located on their private property, are preventing family members from visiting and maintaining the graves of their love-ones buried there. Some of these landowners or their livestock are even desecrating these cemeteries. A cemetery is a place not only for the burial of the dead, but for an expression of love and respect by the living for the dead... Family members have the legal right of burial, visitation, maintenance and beautification of cemeteries per S.C. Code of Cemetery Laws, Section 27-43-310. Visitation to cemeteries located on private property need to be prior approved by the landowner.
Contact your local sheriff to enforce this law, if, the landowner prevents visitation.
-
Estimated GPS mapping values will normally get you within eyesight of the cemetery.
-
It's very common for a cemetery to be known by several different names.
-
If the cemetery's alternate name(s) is known, it will be noted somewhere.
-
Multiple surnames used to describe a cemetery will normally be listed in alphabetical order.
-
Example: Brown-Jones-Wilson Cemetery (not Wilson-Brown-Jones Cemetery)
-
Surnames will normally come before given names.
-
Example: Brown Family, John (not John Brown Family)
On-line Cemetery Survey Book Surname Indexes will simply tell you in what survey book and on what page number a recorded tombstone inscription can be found.
-
Each county webpage contains Unknown Name cemeteries and/or missing estimated GPS Mapping Values. If you can be of help in identifying any of these cemeteries or their locations, e-mail Gary Flynn at ke8fd@bellsouth.net.
-
This SCGS Cemetery GPS Project was not designed for linking to tombstone inscriptions or images. However, you will find photo links for the Anderson-Oconee-Pickens county cemeteries.
