Massachusetts Cemeteries

United States &gt; Massachusetts

The Corbin collection and the Daughters of the American Revolution collection contain tombstone inscriptions from many Massachusetts cemeteries. These collections are described in Massachusetts Genealogy. Many inscriptions are also in published town vital records. See Massachusetts Vital Records for more information about these sources.
