Please remember that copying and pasting from the newspaper is against Find a Grave Regulations. You need to rewrite it. It should not contain the names and locations of living people.

Find a Grave rules do not allow copying and pasting verbatim obituary text. The website strongly emphasizes that the biography field must be your original work, and copying large parts of copyrighted work without permission violates their Terms of Service. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The site's rules regarding newspaper obituaries dictate the following:

1. Biography Text

• Summarize in your own words: You should write a brief bio using your own words, rather than retyping the obituary verbatim.
• Cite your sources: Instead of copying the text, you can add a note in the biography stating the name of the newspaper, the publication date, and a brief fact summary (e.g., "Obituary published in The Delhi News-Record on May 28, 2026").
• Remove living names: You must never include the names, locations, or details of living people (e.g., surviving children or siblings) in the Bio section. This is to protect privacy. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

2. Uploading Clipping Images

• Strictly no copyrighted images: You cannot scan an obituary or use screenshots/clippings from online archives (like Newspapers.com) in the photo slots unless you own the copyright.
• Appropriate photo types: If you upload a document or clipping as a photo, you must select "Other" as the photo type so it does not become the default photo on the memorial. [1]
