Attribution

Resting Places is built from open data. This page credits every source and states how each is used.

Wikidata

Structured facts (names, locations, coordinates, founding dates, area, heritage status, official websites, notable interments, and external identifiers) come from Wikidata, published under theCC0 1.0 public domain dedication. Every cemetery page links its source item.

Wikimedia Commons

Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons. Each image's license is verified through the Commons API before display, each image carries an inline credit and license link where it appears, and the complete inventory is on the image credits page.

OpenStreetMap

Fallback coordinates for a small number of entries come from OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoder. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Pages using these coordinates say so in their facts table. Where a page's "Opening hours" section is credited to OpenStreetMap, that value is a real opening_hours tag on a matching OSM feature, queried live through the public Overpass API and shown verbatim, not reformatted.

Wikipedia

We link to Wikipedia articles for narrative history. We do not reproduce Wikipedia's text, which is licensed CC BY-SA; descriptions on this site are original and derived from the structured facts above.

Google Places

Where a page's "Opening hours" section is credited to Google Places, that value was fetched live through the Google Places API (Text Search to resolve the listing, then Place Details for the hours themselves) and is shown with the date it was checked. Hours are only ever shown when a live source actually returned one; most cemeteries carry no formal published hours at all and correctly show no "Opening hours" section rather than a guess.

Find a Grave and BillionGraves

Some pages link to Find a Grave as an external reference. We do not ingest, scrape, or republish content or photographs from Find a Grave, BillionGraves, or any genealogy service; the link identifier itself comes from Wikidata's CC0 records.
