Historic Burying Grounds Initiative Grave Marker Search

This is a dataset showing gravestone locations and information that are matched to surveys done of each of Boston Parks and Recreation Department (BPRD)’s Historic Burying Grounds. The Historic Burying Ground Initiative (HBGI) manages sixteen different City-owned burying grounds located in Boston that date from between 1630-1841. Gravestones, tomb markers, and monuments honor the many founding members of the community. This includes Revolutionary War heroes and men and women of national and international fame. This data can be used by the public for genealogical research, identifying specific gravesites, and exploring the rich history of our City. Each row represents a gravesite where at least either the name or date of death are legible.
