Links to off-site cemetery and death records are listed first, followed by burial record transcriptions, and finally a listing of cemeteries (with transcriptions, when available) by township.

If you have photographs, cemetery descriptions, or headstone transcriptions to submit, please send them to the coordinator. In the case of obituaries, please remember that newspapers generally copyright their obituary columns. Generally, obituaries pre-1923 are safe to post online. Obituaries submitted by researchers will be posted on the Chippewa County Obituaries Page.
