CemeteryWhat's New

Brown County Cemeteries

Are you searching for your ancestor's burial locations within Brown County, Wisconsin? Our new GraveSiteSearch feature may help! By following this link, you can see if an individual is buried in any of the Brown County, Wisconsin cemeteries. Everyone has full access to all the data on the web site.

A majority of the Brown County cemeteries were transcribed between 1989-1994; some earlier, as well as some later. If you cannot locate the individual you are researching within this index, it may be due to the variance in transcription dates. Please contact the appropriate cemetery for a current verification.
