The mission of this project is to capture digital images of gravestones, we are not a grave registration site. As decades pass -- many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions they originally contained.

By archiving the images of both old and new stones, we can help save these important records and also assist researchers using this valuable resource.

All photos on this site are COPYRIGHTED and may NOT be used on other websites without permission of www.southdakotagravestones.org or the original photographer. And Please, photos taken from other sites cannot be accepted.

   The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents to spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

Theodore O'Hara
