Verified Reviewer New ReviewerI can't log in. It says my " page not found error 404".
After exploring the 'net, I discovered Find A Grave changed operating system requirements without informing consumers ahead or after the change. The customer service line said agents weren't available, and told you to go to customer service online. However, I'm only a "guest "and wasn't allowed in to this section of the site. I'm no longer considered a member. Requesting to get into my own member page is an "error" as I've not updated my software. No hours for customer service were stated.
User's recommendation: If the site works, side it when you can. For now, it's still free. However, where Ancestry.com is part of the network, I would be hesitant to pay their premium prices with the lack of customer service.

In the future, advise customers ahead of major software update needs. In the meantime, I will see if I can access this site at the library. If I can, it won't be as convenient, but will still be somewhat accessible.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerSponsored memorials not allowing 30 pictures
I sponsor memorials for some of my family members. I noticed when I post a picture, it says I can post 30 pictures, not 20, for memorials I sponsor. I'm trying to load more pictures on my ex-husband's memorial and I the website won't let me. Please advise me how I can post the 30 pictures that I am permitted to do. Sandy Lyle FAG ID 4737****

Problems with signing in
My email is marlenedoug@***.com, I forgot my password and was timed out after 30 minutes. Can't get signed back in to use "forgot password" button. In addition, can't seem to get the system to work when I attempt to use the cemetery find feature. I enter country, state and county then hit enter. System appears to hang up at this point. If I enter only a name and DO NOT attempt to do a cemetery find, the system works fine. I didn't have this problem until I lost my sign on. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Find a Grave is a Blessing. Free site follow the rules.
If your memorial page is merged then go to the person that created it first and ask to have it transferred to you, if they won't then add to the Memorial page that is there. Don't see an issue. If you don't want what you put on line used by other researchers then don't put it out there. Find a Grave is for everyone not just you. If you want your information for only you then put it somewhere else. Find a Grave is free and is an amazing site for True Genealogist as well as for family members of the deceased to have a place to find and visit that can not afford to go in person. Grow Up.
User's recommendation: Just follow the Rules and Enjoy Free Use.

Be careful, check your FAG # Carefully!!!!!!!
Update by user Mar 01, 2020
Wrong FAG # for my profile
Original review posted by user Mar 01, 2020
My name is John M. Harper. I created an account with my ID# assigned by FAG as 4972****. This was created so I could seek to transfer profiles of my family members to my profile. Your service created this FAG #, but when you pull this number up it brings someone's profile in Connecticut named Sarah Freeman, no relation. Straighten this confusion and change my account setting with the proper FAG #. Associated with email: john.harper.5784@***.com ID

This is a great site for finding and linking relationships, verifying information and a great addition to your genealogical research experience.
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.

How post an obituary with relevant information
I want to add obituaries on my parents gravesites. How do I do this? Can I add newspaper articles? Can I add Word Documents? I notice that a number of people have done this but I can't figure out how to do this on the website. Thank you for providing such valuable support for my family history search.

From Find A Grave's Help file: 1. Each contributor can upload a maximum of 5 photos for a memorial.
2. A memorial can have a maximum of 20 photos from all contributors. 3.
The sponsor of a memorial may add an additional 10 photos (for a total of 30 on the memorial). The person who sponsors can only add 15 (the 10 from sponsoring and the original 5).
