Is there also disappointment in grave hunts? Sure. If there are no tomb stones, there is no additional information. There is then only hope that the office at the funeral home or mortuary has as much information they can give you as possible.
This is what happened to me on one of my trips to look for my great grandmother and her baby. I ventured out looking for her grave filled with excitement and camera in hand and papers at the ready with the information I had. My first stop was at the office at the mortuary, where the very helpful clerk showed me the direction I needed to go. After wandering around for a while, finally, there they were, mother and child, right next to each other. There were these two empty spaces of grass between other spaces of markers and headstones right up against a chain link fence. Following the directional numbers between the headstones, I knew that was my great grandmother and her son. Very sad.
So I left that day feeling a little empty handed, but quite fulfilled in the knowledge that I was there with them, even if it was just for a moment. At the time of their burial, they couldn’t afford the headstones, but they were buried together, as they passed away together. So that is where they rest, in a beautiful cemetery, together, forever.
I am glad I made that journey.
