Introduction

Below are cemeteries that are within 30 miles [48.3 km]<1> of the Lake Wales Cemetery. The cemeteries are listed in alphabetical order.

Since our focus is on geography, we don't have any burial or interment information. Nor do we have any contact information for the Lake Wales Cemetery. For information of that nature, we recommend you visit Find-A-Grave's<2> entry for the Lake Wales Cemetery (FG ID #72020).

We are always looking for corrections and additions to our Gazetteer. If you can help, we are looking for information such as the name of the cemetery, its GPS coordinates, whether the cemetery is still in use or if it is historic (ie- defunct, abandoned,  etc.). If it applies, we would also like to learn of any past or alternate names that the cemetery may have been known by.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- ) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point at the Lake Wales Cemetery. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 27.8939, Longitude: -81.6011    
<2>The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com.
<3>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
