[Tagging] tagging for graves?

[Brad Neuhauser]

Hi all,

I noticed a user adding some individual grave sites of "ordinary" people
and am wondering what the recommended tagging is, if any. Here are some
things I could find being used (are there others?):

   - cemetery=grave [1] taginfo: 726 uses
   - grave=* [2] taginfo: 17 uses
   - historic=tomb, tomb=* [3] taginfo: 3087 uses total, of which 1778 are
   tomb=tombstone (but the wiki notes this is only for "important or
   well-known persons")

In addition, there is a type=person relationship [4] which appears to be
recommended for this kind of use.

Any insights/discussion would be great. Some people get very interested in
genealogy and track these things down. It'd be nice to have some clarity if
they want to add the info to OSM.

Thanks, Brad
