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 99% of the way there! I have personally photographed all of the markers in the gardens and have photographed all the grounds and am now uploading pics from the mausoleum. I plan on re-walking the cem for clean up and pics I may have missed as well as trying to figure out to whom the illegibles belong. 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!

RE: Alice Dyer
Thanks! He is now 13, adopted from a rescue shelter and I have no idea what he is. Still looks like a young dog though and for the most part is doing well.

Thanks for all you do!

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.
