In researching Rural Cemetery, it says it is 'closed'. Are the records available anywhere? I have already tried Findagrave, Billion Graves and other sites. The record of my ancestor says he was buried at Rural Cemetery in New Bedford. He died in 1893 and the web page for Rural Cemetery says it is 75% photographed. His grave is probably not photographed but I can't find any records with the cemetery. Thank you in advance for help and suggestions.

Thanks Twins! I will check it out. In other genealogical searches I have phoned the Cemetery and they went to their file cabinet and looked through their files. And a couple times they found the papers in their file! The 1893 records in New Bedford definitely say Rural Cemetery is where he was buried. But I can double check with State records. Thanks again for replying.
