Finding burial records in Boston
- Boston city clerk. The city clerk's office can help with death records for people who died in Boston, and statewide records are kept by the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics in Dorchester (records from 1936 on). Recent records are usually restricted to close family; older ones are more widely available.
- Cemetery records. Ask the city clerk or the cemetery department (often under public works) who keeps burial and lot records. Many towns have elected cemetery commissioners.
- Old town reports. Annual town reports often listed each year's deaths. Try the Boston public library or the nearest library that keeps them.
- Local historical society. Historical societies often hold gravestone transcriptions, cemetery surveys and family files. The Massachusetts Historical Society and the Massachusetts Archives at Columbia Point in Boston are good statewide sources.
- Suffolk County probate and deeds. Wills and estates are at the Suffolk County Probate and Family Court. Deeds are at the registry of deeds district that covers Boston; some counties have more than one, so check the Secretary of the Commonwealth's registry list.
- FamilySearch. The free FamilySearch site has indexed Massachusetts vital records and town records that can confirm a death date before you visit.
