I need to correct on grave memorial I created on Steve Vitoux from Graceland cemetary to cremation

I didnt get the menu selection about correcting a listing on Findagrave. Something concerning DNA!

I need to have a correction on two gaves:

Steven Vitoux cremated not interred.

He died 8/23/24.

My Grandmother who died in 1960 and shows her buried in old union cemetary in Valpo. She is actually buried in Graceland.

Unauthorized change to my memorial

Well, I wouldn't say that I am pissed. I just want to know how someone could change information on one of my memorials.

The memorial in question is 13692****. Someone entered a name plus date and place of birth. I have done extensive research on this individual and there is no recorded information on her name or date and place of birth. Whenever I want to change something in a memorial that I do not manage, I have to suggest the change and it is the manager's decision whether to change it or not.

So how did someone change mine without contacting me?

And how do I block it from happening again? I have changed it back and I will watch to see if it happens again.

Someone hijacked one of my posts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It hasn't been addressed; I have received no response. Two of my posts that I created have been hijacked, and I have no access to them.

I need to edit a couple of them.

Posts: Russell H.

Ferrier Jr. is my paternal uncle.

Kaelan Satoshi YAMASATO is my only grandson.

Pros:
  • Easy to post
Cons:
  • No customer service

Preferred solution: I need to have access to the sites I created for Russell Ferrier, my paternal uncle and Kaelan Satoshi Yamasato, my grandson

User's recommendation: Please note that there is no customer service Passed

Horrible website! BEWARE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

I am so sorry for what has happened to you on Find a grave. Hundreds of people have complained about this.

Nothing gets done. Find a grave members harass each other with no consequence.

Continued demand that I post a grave photo which is not possible at this time.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Harold Lee Simpson has continuously posted his concern on Find A Grave John Thomas Levi, Jr. despite knowing that John has not yet been interred at Rest Haven, Wichita, Kansas for his final resting place.

This is becoming a bother so I need clarification or someone to advise Mr. Simpson to stop demanding what is not possible at this time.

Thank you.

Grave Thieves and Find a Grave Bullies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Jan 19, 2024

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.

Cons:
  • Posting of incorrect information

User's recommendation: Get another Memorial site

Upset with site

U create a memorial for a loved one.Once created Findagrave gives the memorial to one of their top contributor trolls. Consequently, u forfeit any rights to the memorial Some people collect stamps.

Findagrave trolls collect dead bodies. Just way too.much drama.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Stay away..Too many trolls.
