I have to add...Holy Cross Cemetery is THE MOST unhelpful cemetery in the
area. I have tried to get grave location information from them and they'll
charge you $5/grave (if you request more than three)...and that's just for
the location, not for anything else. I have real problems with that since my
relatives paid to be buried there. I don't necessarily expect them to charge
nothing, but $5/grave is robbery. Holy Cross also holds records for Calvary
Cemetery, so this has been a huge block in my research.

On the other hand, Brooklyn Heights Cemetery (for example) sent me copies of
all the burial cards for everyone in the cemetery with the last names I was
looking for. They paid for the copying AND mailing it to me...while I didn't
expect that much from Holy Cross, I also didn't expect to have to pay so
much for so little.

Also, if anyone needs futher information on Cleveland Cemeteries, I have a
book by Vicki Blum Vigil entitled Cleveland Cemeteries: Stones, Symbols, &
Stories. It's quite helpful, especially in finding out where records are
held.
