Excellent web site and resource for locating grave sites.

Find a Grave has been an incredible resource in helping find grave sites of family and friends. It really becomes an emotional time to research and think about your own ancestors lives as you locate their burial plots. In many cases you likely had no idea what town or state they even lived in, or their family members were, but this site helps bring it all together. Thank you!

Nobody

does anybody even work for this company/program anymore? The tickets don't get responses, no good updates in a decade, there's no support, the GPS is a total mess now. The app has more glitches now than ever before.... all the while the volunteers are actually doing most of the work with the photos and the logging of the data....

Has gone downhill

App is glitchy and Find a Grave does little to address. Inconsistent application of guidelines. Very poor communication

Basically Useless

Login in hasn't worked in 2 months, thus rendering this a totally useless app until they care enough to fix this bug

Great way to remember family

Have used Find A Grave for years. It’s a great way to record family and friends we’ve lost but won’t be forgotten.

IRISH BLESSING ?????

I created a memorial for my recently departed Father, pictures, dates & location that only I would know & have. After I recently logged back in, I see a complete stranger named Irish Blessing took over as CREATOR. It is truly mind boggling how a complete stranger can take over a loved one’s memorial & then has the nerve to have their incoming messages disabled, how convenient! After numerous back & forth with Find A Grave the issue has been resolved, however this should not have been even remotely possible for a random stranger to take over. No surprise his profile shows he has done it to over 9,000 other memorials. Extremely distasteful.

Great app

Very helpful. A recent update changed the sort which makes it less useful. I hope they fix it soon.

Don’t care about privacy

I’m not happy with what I had to go through with trespassers bc of this app but it seems like they are trying to help me make it right so I’m thankful for that.

Never works right

I have entered so many tombstone information. Yet it only shows 9. My latest one I entered was 6/27/26, entered it 3x and it still isn’t showing up. I am going to stop using this platform. It’s no good. I don’t even want to rate it a 1…more like 1/4 of that. Through out the years it has never worked right. So frustrating.

Communication

If volunteers could contact those who submit requests especially when they have the wrong cemetery.

Find A Grave

I created a memorial for my recently departed Father, pictures, dates & location that only I would know & have. After I recently logged back in, I see a complete stranger named Irish Blessing took over as CREATOR of my Father’s memorial. This person does not receive messages so I cannot even tell them to get off my father’s page. I have reached out to Find A Grave about this situation & they have yet to bring a resolution by removing the memorial entirely as they promised. Extremely disappointing a random stranger with no life can take over your families memorial. Will be reporting to BBB.

Latest update a step back

The latest update changes the UI to a prettier, colorful, tile/icon look, but it’s a step backward in usability. (Perhaps they don’t do usability testing at Find A Grave.) My most frequent use case is to look up what current claims I have, and the new interface requires an additional click to do that. Why add an extra menu layer in the name of “prettiness”?

Don’t care about privacy

They encourage people to trespass onto your property at any means necessary and take photos of family graves and upload them to their app so others can trespass, disrespect privacy, and make your family members feel unsafe not knowing who is trying to sneak onto your property!!! disgusting!!
Ask me how I know!! Living it right now!!!

Not a fan of the latest update

I love the app and what it allows me to do, however, I much prefer the previous layout of the app before this latest update. But it’s their app and they can do whatever they want with it.😐

Love the map upgrade

I was at the cemetery yesterday, taking photos and used the map feature. I went back today and opened up the app and it was completely upgraded and improved. The map accuracy in particular.

Yesterday it brought me within a 10 feet of the monument. Today when I tested it, it took me right to the one I was trying to get back to.

I love this app!

It’s great linking family, going back in history. This is addictive. Anyone who likes digging into their ancestral roots will love this.

Login doesn’t work

I love Find a Grave, but the app does not work. I tried to log in with Ancestry, but it just opens my browser, downloads an “ancestry.txt” file, and does nothing else. I can log in totally fine on the website. Bummer!

Messages in the App

Why can’t I find messages in the App? I received an alert that someone sent me a message, but nowhere in the app can I find the message!

Privacy

Findagrave is a nice hobby and I use it. It is connected to Ancestry.com. The people who manage the memorials are not necessarily family. They may put up obituaries, in the Bio, and leave the living members names and cities in the obituary. That breaks a rule but findagrave does nothing to correct it. When I edited some memorials by simply taking that out, and this is for my home parish cemetery, the managers, in the dozen or less I did, invariably refused. The response from one was that “there were no additions noted.” I did not do anything to counter that response. If they refuse to add the plot location, it was one person, then I responded and was told she did not know how it happened! And people will transfer to family. It is an interesting way to find out more about for instance one’s parents’ buddies during the war, or classmates who died as you can have a virtual cemetery. Looking through a graveyard in findagrave you will see family photos and learn about and remember people who you knew. As our Priest said at my dad’s funeral, they had full lives. If you can add dates, and bios, or memorials, requesting photos you will find a hobby that is helpful to others and free to do still. Mark your veterans with a “V.”
