How to Transfer a Memorial

Transferring a memorial to another member is a permanent action. If a manager is not related, we encourage the memorial to be transferred to someone who is related when that is requested. Learn more about Request to Manage.

Go to the memorial page that you would like to transfer. There are two ways to transfer a memorial to another member. Select the dropdown arrow and choose 'Transfer Management.'

Or scroll to the bottom of the memorial and select 'Transfer Management.'


On the next page, enter the member ID # for the specific member and click 'Continue.' Be sure to double check the member ID # before completing the transfer. Their Find a Grave member ID can be found on the member's Profile page. Click on a member's name and you are taken to their Profile page.

To transfer a memorial to Find a Grave, enter the number 8 in the 'To a Find a Grave ID:' field. When Find a Grave manages a non-famous memorial members of the community can request management through Suggest Edits/Request to Manage.

There is a confirmation screen before the memorial is transferred. Once you select 'Yes, transfer this memorial,’ the memorial is transferred to the other member account. This action is permanent.
