There are a number of cemetery transcription resources online, including Ron Turner's PWCVirginia. One of my absolute favorites is Find A Grave. Made up of volunteers, this site has been around for a while and has steadily grown in to one of the best sites for finding the final resting place of family, friends, and 'famous' individuals.
Find A Grave memorials can contain rich content including photos, biographies and dates. Visitors can request a photo of a headstone from a specific cemetery and can leave 'virtual flowers' on the memorials they visit.
Find A Grave's stated purpose is to serve as a graves registration website and memorialization/remembrance site. Anyone can register to be a Find A Grave volunteer.
For Prince William County specific cemeteries on the site, follow the link: Findagrave PWCo cemeteries.
ETA: I should probably add that Find A Grave is a FREE website. You do not need to be registered to search the site or view the memorials.
