Via the website Petrified Testimonies, residents of Wingene and surrounding municipalities can easily search for the burial place of a family member, friend, or acquaintance.

The online database, available at www.versteendegetuigenissen.be, allows searches by last name, first name, or cemetery. A provided map then helps locate the specific grave. The data was updated in early October 2026 and also includes the cemeteries of Wingene, Zwevezele, and Ruiselede, as well as those in Wildenburg, Sint-Jan, Doomkerke, and Kruiskerke.
In addition to locating graves, Petrified Testimonies also maps valuable heritage graves. These monuments tell stories about people, families, and the history of a region. The website provides information on their historical significance and the symbolism on the monuments. The heritage graves within the municipality of Wingene itself are yet to be inventoried.
Anyone wishing to commemorate a loved one or find a resting place is invited to visit the website for this unique service.
