Taphophile. My hobby.

I map old cemeteries. Try to find names for unmarked graves and add them to these maps. The funeral homes are given copies as well as genealogy groups in the area.

I add to Find A Grave as I have time. Family, friends and others I never knew. I prefer to only add a new memorial when I have pictures of the graves. It is my opinion that if you create memorial, you are obligated to travel to the cemetery and take a grave photo.

I try to add photos of all deceased if I can find them. People deserve to be remembered by their face, not a chunk of marble with a name and dates.

I have a successor to manage my memorials when I die.
