Situation: there is community interest in detailed maps of local cemeteries, i.e. headstones with info mapped. I thought why not map in OpenStreetMap. Question: is it appropriate to tag headstones as historic=memorial, memorial=grave? Since a headstone is a grave's marker? |

The historic=memorial tag is for significant memorials rather than ordinary graves or tombs. Otherwise a cemetery like Recoleta in Buenos Aires would be a mass of these tags (and even here I'm dubious about use of wayside_cross for the tomb of Eva Peron). The currently recommended tag is cemetery=grave. 1
Ah thank you! I didn't know about cemetery=grave and didn't find that while researching the wiki. Cheers!

It seems pretty clear that that's an inapropreate use of the wayside_cross tag.
