Carver Cemeteries and Cemetery Transcriptions

     Collecting information about the cemeteries of Carver is an ongoing effort, and this page will be revised as needed.   If you have cemetery information or gravestone transcriptions that you would like to share please send me email.

     Where I have been able to determine it, the records repository for a cemetery is indicated.   In the entries for the individual cemeteries, if one has its own web site or a portion of a web site the cemetery name provides a link to that site.   When the location of a cemetery is known there are links to street and topographic maps to help you find it, as well as a brief description of the location.   Below these paragraphs is a locator map of the town showing the cemetery locations.   Any gravestone transcriptions online also have links.   At the bottom of the page is a seperate section listing all online and published gravestone transcriptions that I have found for these cemeteries.

     When a cemetery has had more than one name during its history the first name listed is the one by which it is usually known today, and alternative names are listed in square brackets.   In some cases a cemetery has been abandoned, its burials have been removed to another cemetery, or its location has been lost.   In those cases the name indicates that it is a cemetery site, meaning that no gravestones are to be found there.   The year in parenthesis next to a cemetery name is my best estimate of the year in which that cemetery was established.   In some cases the year is mentioned in town records, a town history or some other source.   In other cases it is the year of the oldest gravestone for which I have found a record.
