Find a GraveReviews of findagrave.com

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

I was looking for a friend and her name, info, photograph and the cemetery where she was buried came up. I was so sad my friend had died... until six months later I received a call from her and found out she is still alive. Findagrave.com is totally unreliable. Avoid this site at all costs.

The site has gone from a nice virtual cemetery to a big family tree site.

My recent experience with Find a Grave left me deeply disappointed. I contacted them regarding an ongoing situation with a volunteer, Becky Bergstrom, who has repeatedly interfered with my family’s memorials. I provided clear documentation of my identity, including my birth certificate and my mother’s obituary listing all her children. Despite this, Becky was not asked to provide any proof of her own connection to my family, yet she retained control over certain memorials. When I tried to explain the history and the distress this has caused, the representative handling my case, Charla Ann, dismissed my concerns and demonstrated little empathy. In her final message, she questioned why I believed Becky might be mentally unwell — despite the detailed accounts I had already provided — and even suggested I should be “grateful” to her for maintaining the gravesites. While I appreciate the concept of Find a Grave, my personal experience left me feeling unheard, unsupported, and treated unequally. In sensitive matters of grief, consistency and compassion should come first — unfortunately, that was not my experience. Grief is hard enough — the way I was treated here made it harder.

I had a memorial I made for my Uncle. Someone else made a memorial for him about 2 weeks later. Someone reported the duplicate & removed the other memorial, but Findagrave took control of my memorial and took it out of my control. Yes my Uncle is a famous celebrity & he was marked as my uncle, but how can they just take him out of my memorials without asking me to even transfer first> This is bullshit!
