A Find a Grave memorial is a webpage created to help record and present final disposition information for an individual person. Take a virtual tour of a memorial here. A memorial can be added by any Find a Grave member with information that might come from a cemetery record, a headstone, an obituary or other record. The person who creates the memorial manages it. They can update it directly and are the gatekeeper for updates other members send for the memorial. They can also transfer management of the memorial to someone in the person’s family or another Find a Grave member. Learn more about managing memorials.
A Find a Grave memorial records an individual's final burial location or disposition. Memorials also pay tribute to the individual being memorialized and can tell us more about their life through a biography, family links, photos, and other details. Members can leave a flower on a memorial, just as if they were visiting the actual grave. A memorial can easily be shared with others in honoring that individual's life. Learn more about requesting management or removal through the questions and answers on our homepage at Find a Grave Support.
If you can't find a memorial for the specific individual, go ahead and add the memorial. Learn about adding a memorial to the website here.
