Death Records Now

I’m looking for my aunt’s paternal grandparents’ graves, as she’s about to drive through Sac County, Iowa, and she would like to know which cemetery they’re in so she can stop for a "visit" on her trip.
John (Johannes) Jansen was born in about 1864 in Germany, and died in the 1930s or 1940s.
His wife was Kathryn/Kate Switters Jansen, she died in late 1935 or early 1936. She was born in Illinois in about 1872. Her parents were born in Germany, and evidently her original first name was something like Hinka or Winka (?!) as that’s how I found them in the census.
They had many children, one of whom was John Radinius Jansen, born in IA.
They lived in Sac County, IA. Last known residence was a farm near Wall Lake (also lived in Viola Township).
Alternate spellings I’ve found of the surname: Janssen, Johnson.
I’ve found them in the US and IA census records already, and have tried seeking their death or cemetery info at FindAGrave, Ancestry, Interment.net, usgenweb, and the usual sites. Anyone have any more ideas? Thanks so much!

I want to order the death ceriticates of 7 of my 8 great-grandparents. I already know where one was born, so I don’t need that one. I pretty much know where all of them died. That’s not what I’m looking for. What I’m looking for is if that record says where they were born too, and if possible, who there parents were. It costs $15. I’ll probably order one and see what it says, and than do the rest, but it takes like 6-8 weeks in between. Based on personal experience though, has it said place of birth on it?

I agree with Wendy.
Order the death certificates.

Knowing whether or not your ancestors died from a disease/health condition that may affect your health is worth the price of the certificate.

I have the death certificates of my paternal grandparents, maternal grandmother, my dad, 2 older brothers and a sister, as well as my 2nd step-mother-from Hell, all from Florida.
All show their birth dates and places, dates, times and places of death, their occupation, place of residence, the name and address of the funeral home, date of burial, names and places of the cemetery(s) and parents names.

If a death certificate gives you just one new piece of information, it’s worth more than $15.00.

Even the smallest clue can become the biggest clue.

He lived in Owen County Ky and was probably alive in the year 1832. He also was most likely a slave owner, and owned property outside the town currently known as Perry Park. Does any one have any records on him, his wife’s name, any children they had and a possible number of slaves they owned. I would also appreciate birth and death dates. Thank you for all your help!

Henry County, KY is located west of Owen County, so this MIGHT be who you are looking for: http://www.ancestry.com
