IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remember I am only a volunteer and have no authority to sell lots or discuss plantings in any cemeteries. To find out information as fore-mentioned please go here Cass County Township, City & Village Information - on the right hand side of the page you will see a drop down menu. Choose the township the cemetery is located in and contact the township official designated. When paper records are destroyed through fire or flood, go to the stones, they speak volumes of the ancestors that once occupied the land within a county. But also remember that any time you view an older cemetery, no matter where in the world, the listing should be considered a partial listing; as many times records are either destroyed through mishap or not all burials were recorded. You are welcome to link to our site, but pages in
their entirety Here's a handy form we created in LaPorte County,
Indiana for reading Tombstones |

Disclaimer for on line records and cemetery readings: "This website was developed and is sustained by volunteers who donate their time and personal resources for the purpose of providing valuable research information to fellow researchers." We encourage all to verify information through their own individual research.
We are dedicated to providing free access to Cass County Michigan Gen Web and cemetery listings.
If you have documentation of family records or a burial which does not appear on this site already, we are pleased to receive that information from you.
Some records may be in error due to being originally misread or a transcription error.
Please keep in mind that some of the cemetery listings that are being placed on the WWW were done more than 40 years ago. Every cemetery that you view through your genealogical research should be considered a "Partial" listing for various reasons, such as errors in spelling occurring at the time of burial., some burial locations were known only to the cemetery sexton and information was lost when he moved, resigned or died. And many written logs were destroyed by accidental fires. We are not responsible for errors, misspellings or incorrect information. Every attempt to correct misinformation is entered onto our listing(s) upon being notified of a burial with source and/or family history.
Sources:
1. Readings done by the D.A.R. Michigan, Cass County - 1940's.
2. Index and historical readings by: Amelia Castle and Nancy Corwin & donated to the website.
3. Current readings done by several volunteer groups
