Some landowners who have cemeteries located on their private property, are preventing family members from visiting and maintaining the graves of their love-ones buried there. Some of these landowners or their livestock are even desecrating these cemeteries. A cemetery is a place not only for the burial of the dead, but for an expression of love and respect by the living for the dead... Family members have the legal right of burial, visitation, maintenance and beautification of cemeteries per S.C. Code of Cemetery Laws, Section 27-43-310. Visitation to cemeteries located on private property need to be prior approved by the landowner.
Contact your local sheriff to enforce this law, if, the landowner prevents visitation.
Visit http://chicora.org/ for a wealth of cemetery information.
Visit Preservation-of-Cemeteries and Preservation-of-Tombstones links.
Visit Searching Around SC for helpful researching links.
Estimated GPS mapping values will normally get you within eyesight of the cemetery.
It's very common for a cemetery to be known by several different names. If the cemetery's alternate name(s) is known, it will be noted somewhere on the county webpage.
Multiple surnames used to describe a cemetery, will normally be listed in alphabetical order.
Example: Brown-Jones-Wilson Cemetery (not Wilson-Brown-Jones)
Surnames will normally come before given names.
Example: Brown Family, John (not John Brown Family)
On-line Cemetery Survey Book Surname Indexes will only tell you in what survey book number and on what page number, a society recorded tombstone inscription can be found. Tombstone inscriptions are not available from us.

Each county webpage contains Unknown Name (red-colored) cemeteries or missing GPS Mapping (green-colored) values.
If you can help identify any of these cemetery names or locations, e-mail your comments to Gary Flynn at garyflynn44@yahoo.com
