I am a very lucky individual to have been raised by my Grandparents. Yet, because of this I never knew a lot in regards to relatives I wish I had been able to meet. I place no blame on anyone, but this has placed a deep desire to research. The rich history you gain from cemeteries is remarkable. This is why I am a photo volunteer for Find a Grave. In doing so, I have come to the realization of poor conditions of some Cemeteries here in the United States which saddens me. Because of the conditions I will do my best to take a quality photo every time. FIND A GRAVE. If you would like to request a headstone photo of a memorial, just go to the memorial on Find A Grave. Click on the 'Request A Photo' button. This will bring up a new screen allowing you to add any notes that may help the photo volunteer locate the grave location within the cemetery. You can also decide if you would like your email to be included in the email sent to photo volunteers. Then click the 'Submit Photo Request' button. Your request will be emailed to the 10 photo volunteers who live closest to the cemetery. Depending on the cemetery location and the number of volunteers in the area, it may take a few weeks or even longer for the photo request to be fulfilled. NOTE: If the memorial record does not have specific information regarding the grave's plot/location in the cemetery, please contact the cemetery office (if one is listed) to obtain the plot location and add it to your email. Many cemetery offices will only provide that information to relatives of the deceased and will not assist photo volunteers with finding the grave's location.
