"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

 I try to verify edits as much as possible.  Due to other projects I don't have time to verify or to ask for source if I cannot find one. So my apologies if you find errors. If any edits sent to me return to you as accepted by findagrave it is not because I am inactive.  

A number of memorials in Saranac Cemetery in Saranac, Michigan have been transferred to me. If you have any additional info about any of these I will be glad to transfer them.

If you have a better marker photo (or two) than I have posted for any page (typically due to better sun angles), please load your photos, let me know, and I'll gladly delete mine. Thank you.

New transfer guidelines

If the memorial in question is a relative to you (within our transfer guidelines) and the memorial manager is not family, then they must transfer the memorial. If they refuse to transfer the memorial or do not respond within a reasonable amount of time, contact [email protected] and we will work on it for you. Our transfer guidelines include these close relationships: child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, grandchild, great-grandchild, grandparent, great-grandparent, niece/nephew, great-niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, great-aunt/uncle, or first cousin.

My pet peeves - If there is already a good photo posted on a page why must you post another one. Personally I have no qualms if someone posts a better one, but some posted are definitely not better. If your photo is better I have no problem deleting mine.

Seems inappropriate to me to create a memorial page for a person whose name is obviously on tombstone as a preneed and in all probability the person is still alive.

Why are memorials added to cemeteries when there is no cemetery mentioned in the obit. Contributors appear to assume a person is in the same cemetery as relatives.

Additional info and obituaries are appreciated. For obituaries please provide source and date. If that is not included they will be ignored.
