There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.

In addition to visiting cemeteries and adding grave photos, I like to research who these people were, as best as I can, and try to put some of them back together with their families. I know that can be a dangerous thing, because maybe they didn't want to be together in life!

Anyway, another contributor told me he considered Find-A-Grave as "Facebook for dead people". He was dead on....

I double-check most edit suggestions and will ask for more info if I can't verify myself. If I can't verify, and I don't get an answer back from the suggestion maker, I'll have to respectfully decline the edit suggestion.

I am happy to make transfers of memorials I created outside of the Find-A-Grave guidelines.

Please do not suggest "copied and pasted" obituaries for bios. If you wish to submit an interesting life fact or facts for a bio, just use the "Other Suggestions" tab.

Please feel free to use my photos as you wish.
