I also have found that cemetery records (including tombstones) can be
inaccurate.  My grandfather is identified on his tombstone as 2 years older
than he really was.  The tombstone was prepared through information from the
family who depended upon one of the family Bibles.  However, census records
and his driver's license all show him to be 2 years younger as does a second
family Bible.  

The moral is that this information is useful to get you in the ball park but
be alert to human error even on the part of family members.
