Graveyard Thieves and Bullies fill this Find a Grave Website
as I got my on Find a Grave to build Memorials for my Deceased Family to Honor them & remember my Beloved.
But as these other not Nice Gravers pounce on you then Harass you so badly about your Family Memorials as they are not Related,
then these Gravers turn around to make Duplicates of your Memorials then they Report your Memorials as a Duplicate Grave
then once your Family Memorials get merged into these Gravers & their Grave Buddies Profiles then these Gravers change their Grave information to un match your Memorials
but in the meantime these Gravers get Rewarded (for their Brilliant but Evil Theft techniques) by Find a Grave.
Find a Grave lets these Bullies take your Family Memorials so youre out of what you initially wanted to do
Is to Honor your Beloved.
And Find a Grave will NOT Care that it is your Families Memorials and they do not Care if
it is a totally a wrong Deceased Person that was put into a Cemetery as long as they get that Cemetery and Find a Grave do NOT Care that these other Gravers apply
False Information in just to get
Your Graves.
Some of these Gravers have 0 Life but to Fight a Honest Family Member out of their Grave.
Find a Grave doesnt own up to their own Policies yet throw them Policies your way if you Complain.
Find a Grave doesnt Care if youre Bullied by other Gravers daily.

Find A Grave -Jim Tipton Thief
Find A Grave owner Jim Tipton is a thief he creates a website for members to add burial information thus creating so called "memorials" he uses these memorials for ad space and charges members to sponsor these memorials. He makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from the deaths of others loved ones and provides no service to the survivors.
He and his administration have a set of so called "faq's" that only apply to a few. Find A Grave members constantly steals obituaries, steals photos and information from newspapers, websites and funeral homes. Information provided by the family to the various media with permission for the information to be used only in those media forms NOT Find A Grave.
Find A Grave is notorious for violating copyrights and allowing its members to violate copyrights. Members are out thousands of dollars from their free work so that Jim Tipton can make a profit.
FIND A GRAVE CONTRIBUTORS ARE VULTURES AND HOADERS
KARI NORSTOG
I would like to "THANK YOU" Find A Grave by not allowing the "Act of Fraud" being played out by banning a contributor know as Kari Norstog #12728****. After Kari Norstog was banned from "Find A Grave" on April 15, 2014, Kari Norstog signed up eight more times as a contributor to Find A Grave. Find A Grave deleted all the fraudulent names provided by Kari Norstog.
The names were are as follows:
WILLIAM TUCK-#4840****,.....CKN-#12728****,.....STARLIGHT- />SPIRITWIND82-#4843****....MARTHA BREDESEN-#4842****,....
MARLA REDFEATHER-#4842**** MEYERS FAMILY-#4836****
The last I heard, Kari is still trying to be a contributor on Find A Grave with so success.
Thank you again.

Horrible website! BEWARE
New guidelines-
--Allows "relatives" to claim memorials which removes the name of the original creator replacing it with the "family" member. Members are now STEALING each other's memorials by multiple accounts.
Members are not adding full death dates to keep the system from allowing "family" members to take memorials.
--An edit for "change burial location" has been added requiring members to send in corrected burial location edits (which can be declined). You can no longer create a new memorial with the correct information and have the memorial merged to you (including FAMILY members where you have done the research or know the correct disposition). You have to send an edit so the original poster gets to keep your family memorial. This includes cremations (so every memorial can be incorrect because an edit must be sent to correct it; creating a duplicate and requesting a merge is a violation of the updated rules and guidelines.
The site is basically a regurgitation of obituaries with personal information.
The administrators have not and will never apply the rules to everyone. One contributor has over a half a million memorials and refuses to transfer them to family.
It's a huge card game with family memorials, trading and fighting over them. The site is now owned by Ancestry and it's no longer about gravesites, it's becoming a genealogy platform and newspaper clippings of weddings, birth certificates, death certificates, etc. are posted in the picture section of the memorials.
PRIVATE information for everyone to see.
Find A Grave is making money on deceased family members because they sell advertising placed on the memorials or you have to pay to remove the advertising from a family/friend/pet/etc.'s memorial. I don't understand how anyone would allow a website to do that with their family members or any deceased human or pet.
The site needs to be shut down/completely removed from the Internet.
User's recommendation: Everyone needs to shut this site down.

Verified ReviewerAdd Memorial
Their Policies
I live in Florida, my mother was buried at Washington Crossing cemetery in Pa.
My mother passed away January 27.
I went on find a grave and requested a photo of the grave, because I am far away. I was impressed that within an hour I got a photo I was very impressed with the site until my vicious spiteful sister, who is estranged from me, took over the site, took my words, took my photos deleted them Basically just stole everything that I did. Find a grave after I complained wouldnt do anything about it and said it was their policy that another family member can take over the site. I am angry and disgusted with find a grave I would never use them again my sister is an opportunist. She is neglectful to my parents, she steals from my parents and shes caused a rift in the family. We dont talk and being I was the creator of this site. I was the one that requested the photo find a grave does not have the right to do this to me or to anybody.
She did this on purpose, because I got the photo of the grave and showed it to my father, because she did not take him to see the grave and she was mad at me and shes doing it out of spite. I understand you cant get in the middle of a family quarrel, but I dont think that it is right when someone creates a site that someone else can just take it over like that. now Im gonna go through *** trying to get find a grave to take my words down. Im sure I can find somebody else to help me out. I dont need find a grave to help me out like I said, I wont be using them again.
The worst part of this is we are grieving. My father is 97 years old and is grieving and this is a terrible thing that they did.
User's recommendation: Don’t use them because I let anybody take over your loved ones profile
I need help. I cannot find my mother.
Preferred solution: Location of my mother's grave site all I know is it was Star City there's 16 cemeteries in Star City

Verified ReviewerZero safety and security protocols
I wouldn't even know about this site if not for the stalking and harassment I have received from it since my mother passed away.
FAG has ZERO safety protocols on their site. Their rules about removing profiles require deceased people to be alive (only parents, siblings, and children...all of whom are dead).
You can't show proof of next of kin to manage your own family's profiles. You can't even block people.
The site is wonky, and their rules are literally impossible. It is a gross violation of my safety and security that they will allow some random person to manage a profile for my family. I'm all that is left of my family.
I'm the only one who matters in this case. I'm the one being stalked and harassed by members of FAG.
- Zero safety and security protocols exist with the site
Preferred solution: transfer of my grandfather's profile from some random person to me.
User's recommendation: manage as much of your data as they will let you, and then clear it out.

Contributors are giving him free labor and he's making a profit of the deaths (memorials) of family members.
Findagrave support does not attempt to resolve issues and takes the side of the volunteer who has uploaded the most memorials . Volunteers do not care whether or not the information they add is accurate.
To resolve this problem: Charge each volunteer a fee to create a memorial and for each image added. Findagrave is a group of mentally disturbed individuals.
Finding a grave has nothing to do with these volunteers. If those volunteers were physically active, they'd be considered a domestic terrorist group in the united states.
Since pictures and such are in the media, they are public...
I am so grateful for Find a Grave. Like so many people, my loved ones lived all over this country as well as many other countries around the world.
I'm so blessed to have found this site many years ago and to have seen memorials and grave markers of my family members all over the world that otherwise never would have been made available to many of us. Thank you Find a Grave and all members and of course the Contributors.
I have never been charged for this website. Besides it's a good resource if your doing your family tree research.
I have found many of my ancestors on it which I may have not.
Familysearch.org is how I found out about it. Yes there are some flaws, however a good resource.
maybe a class action suit against findagrave.com will stop them
What would be basis of a class action suit?
How do we go about it? They've stolen or deleted some of my memorials
Let's do it.
