PARK AND CEMETERY. 
Burial Records— A Cemetery Necessity 
’ INTERMENT RECORDS, LOT DIAGRAM BOOKS AND 
INDEX BOOKS FOR CEMETERIES OF ALL SIZES 
A ccurate and complete records of every interment are required by law in many states 
and will soon be compulsory everywhere. Every live cemetery manager realizes that com- 
plete records are the first necessity of a well-managed cemetery. They avoid future liti- 
gation and confusion in locating graves and in establishing ownership of lots. 
No system of cemetery records is complete without three things : Eirst, a detailed rec- 
ord of the important facts about every interment ; second, a lot diagram to immediately locate every 
grave ; and third, an index by which every entry in either interment record or lot book may 
easily be found. 
The “Park and Cemetery” systems of record books embody simple and complete forms for 
all three of these branches of records. They are readily adapted to cemeteries or sections of any 
size, and are in successful use by over a thousand cemeteries. 
“PARK AND CEMETERY’’ INTERMENT RECORD FORM 
Used by more cemeteries than any other form devised; entries run across two pages each 
9^ X 12 inches; in 25 columns, giving all essential facts about the deceased and the interment. 
The column headings are as follows: number of interment; name; place of birth; late residence; 
age — years, months, days ; sex ; social state ; date of death — year, month, day ; cause of death ; date 
of interment — year, month, day ; place of interment — section, lot ; lot book page ; location ; grave fee ; 
name of undertaker ; nearest relative or friend ; remarks ; made in 100, 200, 300 and 500 page 
sizes ; 23 interments to a page. 
“PARK AND CEMETERY’’ LOT DIAGRAM FORMS 
Made in four lots to a page size, and in the combined one and two lots form ; lot diagram 
space ruled in small squares, each one representing a square foot, so that every grave can 
be accurately located on the lot ; space with printed headings for record of lot ownership, and 
for recording of names of all persons buried, by name, burial number and grave number; four 
lots to a page form will diagram lots thirty feet square or less; the combined one and two lots 
form can be used for two lots each 40 x 80 feet or less or for one lot as large as 80 feet square; 
four-lots-to-a-page book, made in 200, 300 and 400 pages; one and two lots form made in 100, 
300 and 500 page sizes. 
“PARK AND CEMETERY” INDEX BOOKS 
Where it is desired to provide for more than 2,000 interments, separate index books are 
generally used for locating all names in the Interment Records and Lot Diagram Books. The 
“Hatype” Index has printed column headings for entering: surname; given name; lot book 
page and interment record page; with linen tabs on margins; enters 54 names to a page; 
made in 50, 75 and 125 page sizes to accommodate 2,700, 4,050 and 6,750 names respectively; 
can be bound into either Interment Record or Lot Diagram Book, if desired ; where it is de- 
sired to bind into either of these books, a simpler index, a plain ruled index with tabs, but with- 
out column headings is furnished ; this enters 84 names to a page. 
COMBINATION BOOKS— THREE IN ONE 
Our Combination Books, containing Interment Record, Lot Diagram and an Index in 
one book, are widely used in cemeteries that want to provide for either 1,000 or 2,000 inter- 
ments or less and whose lots are 30 feet square or less. These books are made up of the single 
letter index, the Interment Record form, and the Four-lots-to-a-page lot diagram form described 
above. They are made in two sizes: Size A— 158 pages, contains 54 index pages with a capac- 
ity of 4,536 names ; 44 double pages for Records of Interments, and 60 pages for Lot Diagrams. 
This gives space for records of 1,000 interments and diagrams for 240 lots, thirty feet square 
or less. Size B — 241 pages, contains 54 index pages with a capacity of 4,536 names ; 87 Record 
of Interment double pages, and 100 lot diagram pages, giving a capacity of 2,000 burial records 
and diagrams for 400 lots 30 feet square or less. 
Any, or all of these forms can be bound in one book where special books are desired to 
meet unusual conditions. Special books can be printed to order, containing your own special 
forms or any number of pages of our forms and prices will be quoted on these on request.
