Lake County has many fine cemeteries. There are also many extinct and forgotten ones. The Lake County Genealogical Society inscription project includes histories of each of the county's 103 cemeteries. Their proofread work is in the first two links, one browseable, one searchable. The others are a variety of interesting burial and cemetery information.

Every known gravestone in Lake County has been included and the project was completed for the Ohio Bicentennial, 2003! This is newly remodeled on the new site, and has search capabilities. (off-site)
