The interments feature class shows the locations of interments within the Orem City Cemetery located at 1520 N 800 East, Orem, UT 84097. This layer can help people locate the graves of deceased loved ones, ancestors or other family members, dear friends, or other people of interest.
Information about each interment contains what we have on record: the person's name plus the dates of their birth, death, and funeral. If both the birth and death date are known, an age is calculated.
Soundex values for the person's last name are also stored for those doing genealogy and using that value to find ancestors whose surnames may have been spelled differently. The definition and calculation of the Soundex algorithm can be found at the National Archive's web site, https://www.archives.gov/research/census/soundex . A link to a working Soundex calculator is included in the article. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Paper documents are the official records for who is buried where, but this information is also vigilantly maintained in a database. The contents of that database are regularly used to update this layer via a scheduled automation script.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Interment points are placed within the plot (polygon) that the person is buried in, but the exact latitude/longitude of the burial is adjusted for cartographic purposes. The 2D map of the cemetery does not show depth, by definition. X, Y coordinates are used, not Z. Two vaults that are vertically on top of one other in the Z plane of the physical world are placed one above the other in the Y plane in the 2D map. The interment points are placed one foot from the left edge to allow the person's name to be labeled on the right. When interment points are labeled, their names might just "spill over" into neighboring plots to the right. This does not mean that the person is buried across two plots; this is merely a digital cartographic issue.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Field Descriptions:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P><SPAN>PLOT_NAME: The name, or address, of the plot of the interment. The format of this name is: section letter, three-digit (0-padded) block number, two-digit (0-padded) plot number. For example, D04210 is in section D, block 42, plot 10</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>SECTION: The section letter of the interment</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>BLOCK_NUMBER: The block number of the interment, as an integer</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>PLOT_NUMBER: The plot number of the interment, as an integer</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>SEQUENCE_NUMBER: The sequence number of the interment, as a 1-based integer. The first interment in a plot gets a sequence number of 1. The second interments gets a value of 2 and so on</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>INTERRED: The name of the interred person. The format of this value is Last Name, comma, First and subsequent names and titles</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>BIRTH_DATE: The interred person's date of birth. In some very old cases, this might be an estimate. These dates are local</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>DEATH_DATE: The interred person's date of death. In some very old cases, this might be an estimate. These dates are local</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>AGE: The age of the person, in years, at the time of death. Although time zone is not considered, month and day are. Meaning, the calculated age is not simply the year of death minus the year of birth</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>FUNERAL_DATE: The date of the interred person's funeral. This date hasn't always been tracked, so many values are Null, meaning we don't know the date the funeral was held</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>SURNAME_SOUNDEX: Four-character Soundex value as calculated by the algorithm found at the National Archive's website, https://www.archives.gov/research/census/soundex</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>LABEL_ROTATION: A 0-degree based angle (where 0 is to the east) specifying how much to rotate the label of the person's name on the map. Default 0</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>VETERAN: A Yes/No value indicating if the interred person was a veteran of the United States military</SPAN></P></LI></UL><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
