Please be willing to provide proofs or answer questions if sending edits.

Ideally, please use Note and/or Contact Manager, back of each memorial, to type, copy and paste, or paste a direct link, to proofs, simultaneous with edits. Please use those fields vs. the photo or flower fields. This gives the memorial manager a chance to examine said proofs and ask questions if necessary.

From FAQ, regarding graves with a known plot location but no marker:

"What if there isn't a gravestone to photograph? If there isn't a gravestone to photograph, then photograph the area where the grave is located. As with photographing any grave, please include GPS whenever possible. It's also helpful to include a neighboring headstone and an overview shot around the burial so it can easily be located. Another suggestion is to mark the grave with silk flowers and then photograph the grave and surrounding area."

Please read this regarding burial and cenotaph memorial pages. More than one memorial is allowed to exist on Find A Grave as long as all are valid and not in the same cemetery. If there is no remains in the grave but there is a marker it should be labeled a cenotaph. If there are remains with or without a marker that is the burial page. Please contact both cemeteries, and look up death cert and obits and make sure the body was never moved etc., prior to sending a merge. Please read this FAQ and more in the FAQ about duplicates and merges:

Just seeing more than one page does not mean one is a duplicate; this site has its own guidelines which are not on other sites. Thanks.

We all work hard on the items we contribute. Accuracy is important. The site is unique. It has its own specific guidelines apart from other sites. Please know that a stranger might have created or maintained a memorial but it does not mean they care any less. There are many reasons to contribute and to care. From a past FAQ: "The ultimate goal should be to have meaningful, accurate memorials that honor those who have passed away, regardless of who created the memorial or who maintains it."
