I found Find a Grave when researching my family tree. When I requested a photo be taken in Montreal, I thought I could help in Surrey. I made Victory Memorial Park my cemetery of choice as I wanted to bring some honour to those that served. Working with two other Find a Grave members, we have completed photographing Victory Memorial Park, Gardens of Gethsemani, Valley View, Sunnyside Lawn, Fort Langley, Murrayville and Pacific Heritage Cemetery. I have since become a volunteer researcher with the Last Post Fund - Unmarked Graves Initiative. As a separate project, I am working with Forest Lawn to identify unmarked veteran's graves and to apply to the Last Post Fund to place markers.
I am so grateful for the help of volunteer photographers and helpers as my research finds veterans outside of my area. Thank you volunteers for your tireless efforts and for all of your help.
I am happy to transfer memorials as well as accept edits provided they can be substantiated. Please source your edits as it is extremely time consuming to locate the source for each suggested edit I receive.
My photos are not copyrighted and therefore can be copied.
I am so glad that I can help out in any way.

Please note:
American Find A Grave states: Only use the veteran designation "as appropriate according to the customs and culture of the individual being memorialized."
It has been confirmed that the Canadian Virtual War Memorial DOES NOT refer to those Canadians that they commemorate, and whose names have been entered in one of Canada's 8 Books of Remembrance, as 'veterans'. [Veterans Affairs Canada (Commemoration Division) statement: "With respect to those who have died in service, our department does not refer to them as Veterans. This is simply because they sadly never had the opportunity to become Veterans as they lost their lives..." because of their military service. "Instead, we commonly refer to these individuals as War Dead (if they died during the great conflicts of the 20th century) or the Fallen."]
So an active military person who passes will not have a Veteran designation
