A Public Safety & Historical Resource

Know what (or who) is buried nearby.

When choosing a burial plot for a loved one, families deserve to know if they are placing them next to the grave of a convicted murderer. This database helps surface that information from public records.

Or browse the map of known locations.

πŸ“

Check graves within a radius of a location

Perfect for planning burial plots, researching an area, or checking a cemetery you're considering. Uses the same verified public-record data as the rest of the site.

Quick locations
Direct radius page

Example: Try a major city above or enter any location + radius to see what's documented nearby.

Why this exists

Find a Grave and similar sites contain millions of records, but they do not flag proximity to convicted criminals.

We curate only verified public cases of convicted murderers and other serious criminals whose burial locations are documented in public sources.

This is not about sensationalism. It is about giving families the same information they would want when choosing where to live or send their children to school.

Current principles
  • βœ“ Only deceased, convicted individuals
  • βœ“ Every entry requires clear public sources
  • βœ“ User submissions are human-moderated
  • βœ“ We err on the side of caution and verification
  • βœ“ Many notorious killers were cremated or graves kept private β€” we only list what is verifiably public
