Find a GraveReviews of findagrave.com

Anytime I try to look for a family member they remove me from the app. I have access to my brother’s, my aunt’s, my uncle’s and great grandmother’s graves on the app anytime I look at their memorials it removes me the next day. Someone else has a memorial for my grandfather who died in 2015 and they will not let me have access to it even though it is my OWN grandfather and it has all of our names and information. Find a grave is a joke.

Find a Grave is part of the M cult with headquarters in Salt Lake City -- pure and simple. Look into the history of it and you will see for yourself. Their whole interest in genealogy stems from the bizarre doctrine of being baptized for the dead and sealing them into the "heavenly family", whether or not they were "believers" during their lifetime. There will always be those who are totally ignorant of their heritage and will give FAG 5 Star kudos for helping them find a loved one's final resting place. But the majority of people I see posting negatively say that FAG is totally unaware of the "whack-os" they harbor within their family (or tolerate them due to their massive FREE contributions). ”I think I'm addicted to graving" as one member put it -- and FAG does nothing about them as long as they have long membership years and thousands of memorial creations. These addicted members bully other members, especially family members of the deceased, by every means possible as long as their name and their contributions (correct or incorrect) are left undisturbed by family members. It's sort of, "I know more about your grandfather than you do" mentality, which to my way of thinking is totally bizarre and is an extreme form of narcissistic behavior. Attempt to step around ONE of their moronic Guidelines and Community Standards, and FAG staff will hound you to death, even threatening expulsion from FAG (which threats violate their own Guidelines against threatening another member -- go figure!). EVERYTHING becomes de facto their property so don't post anything on this site. You will lose all control over your information. They seem especially intent on gathering PHOTOS of your departed loved ones so don’t post any photos. Don’t waste your time jumping through all their hoops to correct wrong information of a family member. It is just not worth the hassle and lack of common sense you will encounter with FAG staff. Do your own family research, keep it closed off from the prying eyes of others, and be aware of the ownership (covert) of all the sites owned or managed by this cult-driven organization headquarted in UTAH.

Its seems generally unknown that Find-a-Grave is owned by Ancestry.com. Because the entities are related, for some Find-a-Grave contributors, this may present an unwelcome open copywrite situation. Any info or photos one posts at Fine-a-Grave can (legally) be plagiarized by an Ancestry Member allowing them to creat a Family Tree of the Find-a-Grave's family. Based on personal experience at Ancestry.com, there seems to be a competion amoung some Ancestry members to create the most number of Family Trees. So they go over to Find-a-Grave and plagiarise information and photos. This may be annouying but just another sign that posting hard-won personal data and precious photos on the internet opens up the front door to most everyone. My advise: Watermark photos posted at Find-a-Grave and minimize information posted. If one wishes, use Ancestry.com only for research and/or join Free WikiTree (yes Free) and create your profiles, biographies and classify them as "Private" i.e. unseeable by public until the subject is more than 100 years old etc.

Find A Grave is pure trash...bored house wives collecting graves like grocery coupons. I har a hortible time getting my infant son removef from their data base.

Awful. They withhold information for 3 months, if you're looking for someone, even a family member, you will not get any grave info for 3 months. Contact them...they don't care. Plus it's controlled by the major contributors, you can't even manage your OWN FAMILY memorials.

Initially found it helpful but I now have members from other branches of the family asking to take over the memorials I put hard work and time into filling out. It's become a competition obviously as this person is supposedly managing almost 4,000 memorials now. Put your egos aside and do not forget,this is about rememberance,not self grandiose.

Findagrave.com is a joke and it's honestly more about who has the most and controls the most memorials. There are people who have over 13,000 memorials and yet we are told they are allowed to have them because they manage them. I have had to ask them several times to remove my great-grandparents, my grandparents, and my father yet they refuse because they think that somehow some random stranger is going to know him as family more than I do. They allow members to violate copyright laws and use copyrighted material without any consequences. I sent them proof 3 times that I had politely asked a person by the name of Herr Strauss to remove them and he has still not responded. I will just file a complaint against findagrave.com for violating my copyrighted material.

Just looking up immediate family obituaries and this website pops up. Not long after I see that and estranged member of family has control over memorials of people that she had mistreated when they were alive..it makes me very sad and sad to see the falsehoods she has posted. Website was no help to get resolved
