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.

Valuable resource | Find A Grave review

It's valuable resource for research purposes for genealogy. But when other members don't respond or have the option of not to message them then why do they bother having a profile or even be a part of the website? In which you cannot even make connections to the admin of the website. It's frustrating.

Adding FAG Memorials to Ancestry | Find A Grave review from Amarillo, Texas

When adding memorials to Ancestry the capability to add family members that are linked has gone away, how can I get that capability back? Thanks, Renette Day #46938625

Anyone can post on loved ones site; good or disturbing, and make their own site for your lives ones. Did not think to save posted photos as info removed but happened. Find a grave NEVER helps or replies but let the person of interest in death take over site.

For about a month, when I enter a name or a memorial number, it will come up on the screen for about 3 seconds and then just disappears. I have restarted my computer numerous times. Deleted the current connection and reconnected multiple times. I am a genealogist and am currently adding photographs to my local cemetery on Find A Grave. I am currently working on seven different trees for others. Please help me solve this current perplexing problem. I LOVE Find A Grave and have had excellent service from it. I want to regain that good service. Thank you very kindly.

Someone posted a listing that consisted entirely of an obituary and a photograph stolen from a website. This is a copyright violation. The listing also gives the names of living people which is against findagrave's policy. The person who posted the listing is not known to the family and does not accept messages through findagrave so we could not request removal from them. Three emails to findagrave requesting the listed be removed over a four month period have gone unanswered. Our family is afraid for our safety.

FindaGrave volunteer Chuck Black refuses to change the correct spelling of my mother's maiden name. Ironically he is a cousin whose mother had the same maiden name. The entire memorial is listed as van Brocklin rather than Van Brocklin (or VanBrocklin) with no source document. He has made numerous errors in the family information including a child attributed to my 2nd great maternal grandparents who never even existed. I can't get that removed from the information. For whatever reason this individual seems to enjoy weaving myths including one derogatory remark about my great aunt's ex husband and yet had listed a person with a similar name.

Often flowers and memorials that are left on graves are not from individuals that have anything to do with the memorials are families they are left on. This function is a free-for-all, and like it or not, that’s how Find a Grave has set it up. If you can’t remember your password, try logging in using the email you used when you signed up, then choose the option for “forgot password” or “reset password.” You should receive an email to lead you through this process and then you will have access back into your account.

Update by user Nov 30, 2019

Ancestry continues to raise membership prices. Since findagrave is part of them now, I'd say 1/4 of my annual dues is a waste.

Update by user Nov 30, 2019

Too much information on this site to use for genealogy.

If it’s been longer than a month since you sent the memorial edit request, send an email explaining the problem to: edit@findagrave.com Explain the problem BRIEFLY. Show the suggested edit, the date it was sent, to whom and any responses.

If they won’t respond to you and help out, or they refer you to the general Edit process ( which you already know about because you submitted Edits), or they don’t respond at all, delete all your memorials and your account and refused to do business with a company who clearly doesn’t give a crap about doing things the right way, or your input to make things better. I know, it’s not the answer I wouldn’t want to receive either, but it seems to be the norm with their customer service which isn’t “customer oriented” at all.
