No one should be forgotten.


I document gravestones for their historical and aesthetic qualities while acknowledging and respecting the men, women and children whose lives these graves represent. Any additional, accurate information that I receive is much appreciated. My approach is respectful and thorough; the people buried in these cemeteries deserve nothing less.


For me, this site is more than just a place to post a name and photo of a gravestone. Each gravestone represents a human being and each name comes with a story - a life that was lived. A memorial page should reflect that as best as possible.


I remember and honor those who have died by uploading photos of them, adding bios, highlighting what was important to them in life, and connecting them on here with their relatives who have also died.


I am grateful to be a volunteer for Find A Grave and make a difference in this way.

"The epitaph on cold marble does no good, but the good in one's life will never die. Life is surely worth living if it is a life of service. Our works should be our proudest monument." - Rev. H. J. Welker
