My comments are concerning the state burial database.
Don't think that because a cemetery's records are on it,
that they are complete. That program does NOT have
a walk through done. As I'm sure we are all aware, records
are never fully complete and sometimes a headstone can
be found for someone not in the records and vise-versa.
I recently found that situation in asking about a burial
and being told he was in the record but with no location written in.
