I am a Kansas licensed funeral director\embalmer and run the day-to-day operations of Koup Family Funeral Home, in Eureka, KS. I have been in funeral service since 2002. I add memorials for local obituaries when they have not been added to FindAGrave by anyone else and I try to update information for those individuals whom I serve. I believe having a place to retain this information is a wonderful thing and my only goal is to help in that process.

Removing Names\Information From Obituaries
Here is a quote from the FindAGrave Help Section regarding adding obituaries to memorials.
Can I add a memorial from a newspaper obituary or other third party source?
Find a Grave does not discourage the legitimate indexing of the deceased through obituaries or other third party accounts. Newspapers represent a very good source of information as a public record. We ask that those who index and memorialize the deceased from newspapers and other third party accounts do so with full respect of copyright, refrain from adding information about living people, and respond generously to the family of the deceased. Find a Grave takes no position on the appropriate timing of submitting such indexes. Please reference our Terms and Conditions and Community Rules.
My solution to this vague guidance is to add obituaries with citations while removing the names and/or the residence of living family members. If I leave the names in, that means the family has given permission for the obituary to be listed on FindAGrave. If you are close family of a person for whom I have removed the survivors' names, and you want them added back in, just message me and I will put them back in.

Adding Source Citations to Obituaries
Here is another quote from the help pages.
What information can I include in a non-famous bio?
Genealogical data:
Genealogical information about the subject can be included in the biography.
Personal information:
The focus of a biography is memorializing the individual's life with preference to an originally written biography. We ask that those who index and memorialize the deceased from newspapers and other third party accounts do so with full respect of copyright, refrain from adding information about living people, and respond generously to the family of the deceased.
If a cause of death is included, it is to be short and to the point, such as shown on a death certificate. Please don't include graphic death details or name a perpetrator. Links to other websites or email addresses are not allowed within any memorial.
These standards will be added to and updated from time to time. Find a Grave reserves the right to edit any biography submitted to the site to conform to these and any future posted standards.
When I post a an obituary it will come with a source citation that meets MLA guidelines. FindAGrave asks that you fully respect any copyright, while also prohibiting 'links to other websites.' I may be splitting hairs but my definition of a 'link' is a hyperlink, those that you can click on to go to another website. My source citations have URL addresses, but not hyperlinks. I don't see how you can respect the copyright without noting the source.

Cenotaphs
A cenotaph is a memorial marker for a person whos remains lie elsewhere. Family links should only be added to the actual memorial and not to a cenotaph (another FindAGrave guideline). The best procedure for handling cenotaphs is to have the bio section in each memorial link to the other. You can do this with HTML anchor tags. See this help page for the actual code used to add hyperlinks to connect two memorials for the same person: 'https://support.findagrave.com/s/article/Cenotaph-Information#_How_can_I'. Feel free to message me for help with that if you need it.

Last Names
I always add all last names of a person and personally recommend that you do the same for any memorials that you manage. Avoid hyphenation if you can, as this messes up the FindAGrave search feature. I can't tell you how many times I have discovered duplicate memorials only because they were listed with different or hyphenated last names but were the same person.
