Prove me wrong:
I think when we're taking pictures of headstones we should take a picture of the entire headstone or memorial. If you take a picture of surrounding headstones, background to give others an idea of where the grave is located or a closeup of the birth and death dates these should all be classified as "Other". My reasoning is all of those miscellaneous pictures can be very helpful, but they end up showing before family pictures or a picture of the grass with headstones that we can't read is the main picture. Email me answers why I'm wrong. I'd love to learn.
I am currently working to get pictures of all headstones in Roselawn Memorial Gardens, Saginaw, Michigan. I have completed the following sections:
4-17, 19-21, Nativity, Gethsemane, Devotion, Veterans, Masonic and all of the Mausoleums.
I need to do the following sections:
18, Good Shepherd, Apostle, Last Supper, Honor, Trinity, Restoration, The Cross, Resurrection, Old Rugged Cross, and Victory.
Not all have GPS. I plan on going back and doing those that are missing. I didn't fully understand how to get an accurate GPS coordinate. I do it manually every time now.
Plot Standardization
Plots should be listed from large to small in my opinion. Typically Section ____, Lot ____, Grave _____ or something like that.
