I've always been a reader of obituaries. I love the stories and I love to connect people. Findagrave has been a great connector tool for me. Many of the memorials are not linked to family members. I joined the Findagrave family to do just that. I really do enjoy the feeling of gathering a family together. I enjoy the research and the stories. I've found that the process of looking for and linking family members together is the best way to find graves that have been missed. It's been a great experience to create and link the memorials and walk the cemeteries to get the photos.

I never forget that the memorials I create are for a person who deserves to be honored for the life they lived. I always try to create a memorial that will honor them. If I have created a memorial for one of your relatives and you would like to manage it, please ask for a transfer.

Please feel free to use any grave photos I post on findagrave. They are taken with love and for the purpose of blessing families.

If you post obituaries to a memorial, be sure to include the source citation. Obituaries without a source and date are next to worthless. If you don't include the source, it is as if you are claiming the obituary to be your own work, which it is not. Give credit where credit is due!
