Willows Cemetery District
Many years ago, the Willows Cem. Dist. Manager
offered access to the files of the Cemetery.
I paid for a Double Layer DVD of all the files.
They were in a format that required renaming which took a good deal of time. I had one volunteer who assisted.
The Document files are all on my IceDrive: Please use this Link.

In the 1992 & 1994 the LDS Church contacted and photographed records contained within the Mortuary listed above. Most, if not all, of the records have been digitized and can be found in the Family Search Catalog.
In order to make these valuable records available to researchers, I have undertaken a project to include indexes here with links to the images as photographed & digitized.
Many of the documents are hand written. Interpretation of them will remain with the researcher. In the case of a couple of the films, charts have been created to facilitate easier searching.
The types of documents include, but are not limited to the following:
Coroner's Inquests, Mortuary Copies of Death Certificates, Funeral Records,
Burial & Transmittal Records & Obituaries.
There are 14 films in all.
Funeral Records: Film: 1838471 [Items 2 & 3]
There are indexes for both sections: [Items 2 & 3] Images begin on Film 1838471, 329 > 491 and continue with Item 3, Image 511>614
These Documents contain the information gathered for the Funeral. Here is a sample
