- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains 2011 cemetery location information for the State of Florida. It is a combination of cemeteries and other types of burial ground locations from approximately 22 different data sources including; Florida counties, parcel centroids, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (GNIS), Florida Division of Historical Resources (SHPO) cemetery centroids, SuperPage cemetery address locations, and more. This dataset contains fields denoting the location, and other information for cemeteries located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of cemeteries. This layer is an update of the previously released FGDL layer "GC_CEMETERY_SEP08".
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS
systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This is not intended to be a 100 percent inventory of cemeteries in Florida.
What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2008
statewide cemetery data layer.
17 Different Sources Comprise the Cemetery Dataset.
The following Sources were either reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HPGN
map projection or if no spatial data existed they were geocoded to a statewide
2007 TeleAtlas Streets dataset. For downloaded county and district wide polygon
layers the label points were created and then used for each facility.
Once the point sources were created via geocoding or reprojected existing point
data they were merged into one statewide layer.
Record (facility) duplications were removed by manually viewing and editing the
statewide layer's attribute table for each of the 67 counties. Where record
duplication existed source information of previously corrected FDOT Districts and
Regional Planning Council data took preference followed by, County data, and
finally geocoded data.
Below are the data Sources as described in the Source field in the attribute table.

- Process_Description:
-
GeoPlan reviewed and updated the GC_CEMETERY_SEP08 layer. Each
existing feature was inspected using aerials and Google earth/street view
to confirm their existence. Features that were deemed outdated or inaccurate,
were removed from the dataset. Many features were spatially adjusted or their
attributes were updated based on the latest data. The most updated shapefiles from
GNIS, SHPO, Parcels as well as Orange, St. Johns, Seminole, and Putnam
Counties were inspected to determine additional features to be added to the
dataset. In addition, the State of Florida's Funeral, Cemetery & Consumer Services
provided an Excel table representing registered cemeteries in the State of Florida
which was geocoded and inspected to determined additional features to be added.
In total, 244 features were removed and 197 were added from various sources from
the previous version. The following files were used in the update.

to account for any spatial changes during the update. The "ADDRESS"
field us updated with parcel data where available for features without
any prior address information.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
