To send researched information for a memorial, select Suggest Edits from that memorial. Fill in the relevant fields with the information and 'Save Suggestions.' Your suggestions are sent to the manager for processing. The manager has up to 21 days to process the suggested edit. If the edit is not declined within that timeframe it is automatically sent to Find a Grave's edit queue for processing.
When suggesting edits it is optional to send a note. However, adding a short note about the suggested edit gives the manager readily available information when reviewing it. If you'd like the note to only apply to one edit, send that edit and note separately from other suggested edits. If your note applies to several edits, you can suggest all those edits at one time and add one note that will apply to all of them.
A manager accepts or declines the suggested edits according to their research or the research that is sent to them. The suggester receives notification after processing according to their notification settings and within their Suggested Edits queue under 'Suggestions I've Sent."

Find a Grave is a collaborative community and we encourage members to work together. If a suggested edit is declined, we suggest sending the edit again with a note. It is possible that the manager has differing information and may decline the suggestion.
We suggest members work together (such as showing both sets of sourced information) if there is differing information in historical records. Keep in mind the Genealogical Proof Standard when updating and adding to memorials.
The manager is responsible for decisions made about the memorial. If a manager is consistently not managing memorials in an effective manner, see Management Questions. You can contact us with detailed examples and we’ll look into it further.
See Famous Help Questions for information about suggesting edits for famous memorials.
