Bio and Links
Bio Photo I have always been intrigued with the rich history found in cemeteries. My mom always took me (since I was a very small child) with her to put flowers on family members' graves and I suppose that started my love of cemeteries. I am a licensed funeral director/embalmer in MO and IL. I am currently working to add records to Oak Hill by going through interment books and by walking the cemetery with my camera. I am about 95% of the way there! I have personally photographed all of the markers in the gardens and have photographed all the grounds with just the mausoleum remaining to photograph. I am still uploading photos from Memories and Light. I am not actively linking any family members even if it is obvious from the marker. I don't agree with guessing relationship but will transfer records so you can do it if you request it. My goal is to complete this cemetery as accurately as I can!
I am currently a funeral director at Valhalla in Belleville, IL so if you need help, let me know. I will probably be adding many Valhalla records in the future!


*Please ask my permission before using my photos. Thanks!

Thank you so very much for photographing the headstone and creating the memorials for Noah and Georgia Henley. I really appreciate all the work you have done to memorialize our family members, as well as many other people. Could you please transfer their memorial management to us? I would like to link Georgia (my great-aunt) to her parents. If you would rather not, I can send you her parents' memorial numbers.
Thanks again.

April 27th at Calvary
Our next group outing at 9 am. Trying to get the list of over 1100 requests down. Since so many are in section 5 and 16 we need to walk and look. Would love to see you.
