Welcome to our website and thanks for stopping by!     Welcome...  After you have taken time to review our site, please sign our guestbook...   Our mission:  To provide free online access for all burials in Kalamazoo County.  We are providing cemetery indexes, transcriptions, grave marker photographs and much more.  We intend to keep burials updated on a yearly basis.       We need your help.  The computer we store our information on and program our websites with  has crashed.  We are in need of a powerful computer to keep the project going.  We would appreciate a generous donor to contribute funds to help us purchase a new computer. Contact Us     I dedicate this site in memory of my father Charles W. Grinder Click image to enlarge it   As of 10/19/08 we have indexed 102,490 burials.

On 6/26/08 we added information about Elliot M. Norton.  Elliot is the only Civil War Veteran buried in any Kalamazoo County Cemetery that received a Medal of Honor.  On the menu, select Information then Elliot M. Norton.

On 5/28/08 we added a Cemetery Humor page to our site.  This page we will display some humorous monuments or engravings.

On 1/13/07 the Kalamazoo Gazette did an article on our project.  You can read it under the information menu.
