Cemetery Records

The UW-River Falls Area Research Center has transcriptions of headstones in all of the public cemeteries in Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties.

  • This resource has a surname and cemetery index for Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix Counties.
  • "Transcription" means what appears on the headstone, which may include only the year or the full date of birth and death.
  • Many of these are now available on Find A Grave (search our 4 counties in the search box to the right).
