Bio
Just a note offering my opinion about the placement of Death Certificates on memorials. I feel that people that do that are disrespectful scum. It is no one else's business knowing the details of one's death. The pertinent information on the Death Certificate, like the person's name, date and place of birth, date and place of death, their parents' names, etc. have individual fields provided by Find A Grave to include this information on the memorial.
If burial information is unknown for an individual, Find A Grave is probably not the right place for their information. I do not link "Burial Unknown" memorials.
I will add military rank to those who were killed in action. Otherwise I generally do not add military rank to individuals buried in national cemeteries.
The inscription field is to be used for words, phrases, or sentences found on the headstone other than the persons name or birth and death dates.
The following statement was obtained from the profile page of Find A Grave contributor, Kathy S., #46944127. If I decline to change a person's name on their memorial it may be due to this:
"We respect the name the person chose to be buried under and will use the same for their memorial (which may also help prevent duplicates). If you have a different name, we are happy to add the source to the bio for you upon request."
