This cemetery will disclose plot information over the phone to non-relatives, but not more than about two at a time, assuming someone is available to do the research. For a $20 charge, you can, at the discretion and availability of the staff, get up to ten lot locations. If the memorial is in block 9 or 12, be sure to ask for the section also, as these blocks are subdivided into sections and the same lot numbers are used in every section.
Most developed Blocks of this cemetery contain 300-500 lots, and there are more than 50 such Blocks. Most Blocks are not rectangular, lot numbers are not consistently and predictably arranged, and there are limited or no lot markings on the ground for the searcher to refer to.
If you request a photo for a grave in this cemetery, you should call Elmwood's office ((205)251-3114) to find out the Block AND the Lot numbers. Either number alone is meaningless.The cemetery office is open on weekdays until 4:30 p.m. CST and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
