	With Burial Search, you are able to hide individual spaces or entire areas from public viewing and searching. If a space or area is hidden, all burials contained within will not be available to the public. This feature is most useful if a cemetery has a controversial person buried whose gravesite has perhaps been targeted by vandals in the past, or if a cemetery has an "unknown" section where burials are present, but not in their correct location until the cemetery can do additional research.

			Burial Search is able to show the Hebrew date of death as well as upcoming Yahrzeits. You will need to have Hebrew dates enabled for your cemetery; [https://www.cimscemeterysoftware.com/contact-us/ contact our team]to enable this feature.

			To show the Hebrew date of death and, optionally, upcoming Yahrzeits, click on the "Search/burial info" tab at the top of the Burial Search settings popup, then scroll down to "Yahrzeit options". If the "Display Display Hebrew date of death" checkbox is checked, the Hebrew date of death will display to the public in Burial Search. When checked, an additional field will appear, "Number of Upcoming Yahrzeits to Display". This field is optional, and will display up to 10 upcoming Yahrzeit dates in the Gregorian calendar.

			When enabled, visitors to BurialSearch.com will see the Hebrew date of death and the number of future Yahrzeits you specified in your settings. This information will display in a dedicated section below the buried person's name and other information.

	==Search by owner==		==Hide the advanced search==

			Some cemeteries may want to hide the advanced search, where Burial Search users can search by using certain filters. These filters correspond to the information you choose to show to visitors when they look at the information of a buried individual (see above, [[Burial Search settings#Burial information\|burial information]]).

			An example would be if your local headstone manufacturers are preying upon the families of recently-deceased individuals by searching for burials by date. We hope this is not the case for your cemetery, but if it is, consider hiding the advanced search feature.

			Click on the "Search/burial info" tab at the top of the Burial Search settings popup, then scroll down to "Advanced Search" to turn this feature on or off.<gallery widths="420" heights="300">

			== Search by owner==

	Searching by owner will allow website visitors to search for space owners by name. This is most useful for cemetarians wanting to reassure customers that they do have a record of their space purchase, and said purchase is viewable on a public website they can access themselves. If turned on, the owner of a space will also appear as part of the information shown when viewing a burial.		Searching by owner will allow website visitors to search for space owners by name.

	Clients can customize the messages that appear when a space is loaded. This can be useful if a cemetery wants to encourage space sales by including a custom message, explicitly display the reason why a space might be restricted, display owner information for "Sold" spaces, and more.
