There are two ways to search burials: mapped burials and unlocated burials. Mapped Burials have a documented lot location at Oakland. If a burial is unlocated, that may mean the individual was moved moved to another cemetery. It may also mean there are incomplete records for the burial that do not allow it to mapped.
