Community Voice & Feedback
Goth girl approved! Everyone should be using this app!
Cannot find some of my searches that I was able to get to in the past.
I wish it was easier to make a note add flowers on the app.
Mapping graves on Find A Grave is my favorite hobby. It’s a great to add photos, coordinates, and family info to cemeteries and headstones around the world. I love that I can save my friends and family into one virtual cemetery to visit, even when I can’t physically be there. I love helping others connect with their loved ones by adding photos and locations. Thanks for a great platform to go all-out OCD, but also help others in small way.
Excellent app for locating burial plots. Information is very informative.
Think cemeteries need to be updated accordingly especially when it comes to parts of the graves that can’t be found. i was literally scolded for walking in a dead zone of non marked graves toward told not to walk a section of unmarked. We need to think about those graves and those people because without knowing it’s like a pain to connect the families. And poor or rich cemetery homes needs have all records from prior funeral home owners. Without records the person lost and forgotten and the entire point of a funeral home is to account for that. Those may not have families, but there are people who care.
So helpful for genealogy.
I’ve had Find A Grave app for a sometime now, it’s a great way to help out loved ones of the deceased, also to find random cemeteries that could be haunted 👻, and if you just like cemeteries for their history and beauty, Find A Grave is the app for you, highly recommended.
Easy to use and navigate whether trying to locate cemeteries or graves, or trying to upload information.
App seems to glitchy and not user friendly
I removed 2 stars for a very specific reason. There are so many people out there who create websites from obituaries but refuse to release them to family members to manage. I call them “dead collectors” they have absolutely no interest in the individuals but only having a lot of memorials. It’s aggravating when you want to add your own memorial for a family member and find some stranger has already created one and they refuse to turn it over to you even though they have no connection to them - and since Ancestry acquired the site it’s even worse!!
App keeps losing the server
Great App, when it worked. Now all get is “server error” whenever I try to sign in.
Find a Grave only continues to improve with time. Love the ability to GPS memorials and make my own Virtual Cemeteries. Keep up the excellent work.
