Requested a memorial transfer for great-grandfathers brother - the memorial maker has the wrong information - tired to get him to change the info and he would not - he is not related to my great-grandfathers brother or any of the 85 K that he manages - he will not transfer to me - support at find a grave said no too - I am ticked - 24 yrs a member of Ancestry and almost 16 yrs on Find a Grave -

Zero stars
Zero stars. Everything I've read in these reviews is something I've experienced multiple times. Horrible staff, vindictive people who hoard memorials and set out to be ruthless with their agendas. You can't trust the information to be correct either. This site should be shut down. 70% + give it one star. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!

can't find a grave
If you can't find a grave, you should not offer this service.

Not reliable
I recently submitted a correction for a memorial on Find A Grave. The contributor responded in a hostile manner and told me to stop contacting him. When I told him I was going to send a message to find a grave to let them know that this contributor was providing incorrect information and would not research and correct it on their website, I was threatened by the contributor. I have closed my account.
This website is very unreliable.

A contributor assumed it was ok to change our father's information, based on a document which is based on a lie. If someone is doing research, you need to follow through all they way. When we found this lie, we traced it and it was for a complete different person.
I am closing all my accounts and have stopped genealogy.

Useful but not wholly functional
Great idea that is a great source of grave information, but I have never succeeded in joining Find A Grave and getting interactive, sadly. I am a regular user of Ancestry and a computer literate person. Now after my umpteenth time of trying I am giving up and posting this review, in the hope that someone will accept that this side of their operation needs further work

APPALLING WEBSITE
Who would have thought that there would be trolls and generally nasty people on Find a Grave. Such as the likes you find on Facebook or Twitter.
There is no help from support when there is genuine harrasment and I have sent many emails reporting abuse of terms and conditions, violation of intellectual property and nothing is said or done. A member can put incorrect information about a relative and refuse to correct it when suggested, they steal original photos and edit them and upload them as their own. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw such gross abuse on a volunteer website especially when it is about genealogy. A serious dedicated support team is required if Find a Grave thinks it has a place. Really shows Ancestry.com in such a bad light. If only I had read all the complaints about Find a Grave, I don't think I would have joined.
