A stranger dug deeply into the ground of my grandfather who died in 1928. The gravestone is sunk halfway into the ground. A woman requested to see what was written on my grandfather's gravestone. She pretends to be a related family member to me, not related, won't answer to whom she is related to when questioned Made up false information about my family, wouldn't transfer my grandmother's memorial, posted flowers on my family memorials. This "grave digging was done at her request, she called it an "archeological dig." The pictures of the dug grave were posted on her Ancestry Tree. I was sickened by this action by these two. Apparently they violated Find A Grave guidelines concerning a non relative's grave, or so I was told. What is the penalty for doing this I asked, the were told not to do that and follow the guidelines. I don't know if the photographer restored the grave to its former state. I contacted the cemetery about what had happened, I hope they fix the damage. I learned my lesson not to speak to anyone stranger on Ancestry or Find A grave, some of these people are not trustworthy, beware.

I’ve been with Find A Grave for 14 years. In my own genealogical work, it used to be helpful. I don’t know what has happened but the last 2-3 years, it’s become a nightmare. Granted these people who manage memorials for the most part are sincere and we must remember they do this voluntarily. But there are some who are very territorial - if you are a family member and want to manage your own family, they never respond. Also if you manage you should always check what edits, people are submitting. Many are completely wrong listing a completely different family which throws off the algorithm on Ancestry and everybody who doesn’t check sources, keeps perpetuating a falsehood on a deceased family member. There needs to be more checks and balances. It’s a shame really, how it’s become such a mess with so many mistakes, misinformation, wrong photos attributed to the deceased.

I know now that if u want your privacy upon death you better have it in your will. It is totally disgusting how people can just go on and exploited the dead. Some people are private during their life and want to stay that way in death. It’s about what the deceased wishes are, not what the selfish living survivors what. Shameful. Find a grave does not care about the deceased.

absolutely sick site! my family is private and it goes against their religion, there just is no boundaries on top of it. been asking and asking shouldn't have to. some troll named rebecca evans doesn't and didn't even know my family posted grave photos. i been trying to get my family off there find a grave for years now. someone took photos of MY FAMILIES GRAVES!!! and posted them on find a grave refuse to remove them the poster and the site YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK GHOULS. even a cemetery is not a safe space anymore with such trolls who have no character, morals or ethics to post someones families grave they dont even know. the cemetery was outraged and in no way agrees with this behavior for anyone wondering? findagrave.com, they are owned by ancestry.com. remember anyone can be found on the internet but that cuts both ways. just fyi and nothing stops heartless cruel subhumans from doing this. she apparently gets some kind of charge out of doing this to people opening their wounds, how pathetic. im about to have all headstones removed thats where im at, seek therapy and God in your life

There are these massive Bullies & Grave Thieves & Identity Thieves on Find a Grave, like Tombstone Finder & dare2dream & Amy, Sean Kilian & their Bully Followers who make “new” “Duplicates” of your actual blood Relatives older already made by you Memorial & then they get your “older Memorial” Reported as a Duplicate that they Copied from you then these Bullies get your Family Merged to their Memorial or their Grave Buddies Memorials but in the Process they send you like tons of or like 60 Edits at a time for you to write in what they want as they have a Duplicate sitting with another of their Grave Buddies then your Memorials match then get Merged in their Care with all their wrong Information added but then they change their Information to other off things that they add or write but none of them can read what they add because it is wrong. I check on EVERYTHING these Gravers add to my Family & none of it is Accurate. Because these Bullies jack up your Family Memorials through Mergers then treat you like you can’t make a Memorial. But these Gravers & Find a Grave also yell at you & are Mean & Abusive towards you then Act like the Victim to Find a Grave or Outside Officials. Find a Grave lets these Gravers make Duplicates & yell at you because these Gravers perfect their Graves as they throw in Anyone who Fits their Grave Marker even if it is NOT the right Deceased Person which brings in money for Find a Grave for getting Ancestors in a Grave. Find a Grave throw their Policies at you but none of their Top Contributors abide by the Rules but Find a Grave kicks you around or off their Site if you’re not their Favorite. Their Customer Service is non Existent & it is a Jacked up Site. It is Voluntary on your end. All your Work in a Memorial is a Waste because these Awful Gravers mess up everything you write. Very Abusive Site for trying to Honor your Loved ones!!!! Oh if you Accidentally make a Duplicate you get yelled at but if like dare2dream makes Duplicates they are like oh well. These Gravers have 0 Life as they Stalk you closely then keep all your Graves Information on File as they admit as they need to reach a quota. I do NOT Trust those Gravers with my Loved ones. So Sad because all I wanted was Tributes made for my Family

FAR too many pop-up ads - they really get in the way; didn't used to be like this - now spoiled as far as ease of use is concerned.

All these posts from Findagrave contributors going on about how hard they work harvesting graves makes my French butt tired. These people live on Findagrave because they r addicted. There is also a certain sense of satisfaction sticking their noses in other peoples business. What they really need is professional help and a long vacation from Findagrave.

There are some managers on Find a Grave that graciously transfer your family memorials quickly and without a problem and that is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of memorial collectors who refuse to release a memorial with a family connection like they are supposed to. These memorial managers go so far as to post erroneous information, control their version of history, pull information from real researchers and post it to memorials as they see fit and lie to admins when they are called out on their bad behavior. Myself and family members have experienced every one of the bad experiences identified in reviews on trust pilot. There is no accountability and on line support is incapable in many cases to do anything.
