Genealogical Research
 

Cemetery records contain information regarding the burial only. Typically this information includes: date of death, place of death, date of burial, date of birth or age, place of birth, parish from which the person was buried, and mortuary.

Cemetery records do not include maiden names, names and addresses of relatives or children, nor death certificates.

Due to the time and expense involved in research, it is necessary to charge a fee of $35.00 for research requests. Checks may be made payable to Holy Cross Cemetery. Please allow 4 – 6 weeks for research to be completed. The research fee may be refunded if no information is available.

In order to locate the correct information, please complete the Genealogy Request Form and mail to Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, P.O. Box 1577, Colma, CA 94014 with your check in the amount of $35.00.
