I know the name and birth year and death year…im not sure whether they are buried in New York or in New Jersey…but i might visit so i need to know where to pay my respects….how can i find out where some1 is buried,and which cemetary?who would i need to get in contact with?

They might be on www.findagrave.com

http://www.tedpack.org/obit.html has four ways to find an obituary, with links. Obits almost always say where the person is buried.

If you find him on
http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
you may get the exact death date.

It would be slow and costly to get a death certificate, but you may have to.

If you post what you know, here or in a new post, someone may be able to help. Ancestry has digitized millions of newspaper pages, including obits.
