How hard is to find out where an old friend was buried, so I can pay my respects?

[holden j caufield]

I would like to pay my respects for an old friend that I lost track off. In a conversation with a friend of a friend I found out that the person passed away. The most info I could obtain was she was buried in Hawaii. Do I need to call up every cementary, hire someone? Or is there some public records info I can look up.

Thanks

maybe google the newspaper obituary? They may have a listing of the funeral home/cemetary.

I found out this person passed away a number of years ago.

Calling the cemetery may work, I assume they must have some kind of record of burial. The funeral home can probably help too. I'd start there.

Try contacting someone in her family?

Ask a librarian.
