This is a fun and interesting hobby for me, as well as a great way to perform a meaningful community service to others. Someday I hope to have more free time to devote to it. Since March 2013 I have taken over management of approximately 25,000 memorials in Inglewood Park Cemetery from Chris Mills, at his request. As of January 2019 I have taken over management of another approximately 25,000 memorials at Woodlawn Memorial Park (Compton) at the request of WMP. I am a Member of the Woodlawn Photo Volunteers Google Group (formerly a Yahoo Group). We are in the process of photographing all visible markers at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Compton, California for many years.

June 2018: I am adding this back into my profile after seeing it copied verbatim on someone else's bio. I deleted this portion in about 2016 and was surprised to see that it had been copied: In fairness to those who may have closer ties to a memorial, please read the Transfer Guidelines prior to requesting a transfer. You do not need to "manage" every memorial that is part of your family tree. Remember that this site is for locating burials, not building a tree. There are other websites that are more suitable for that purpose. I will be happy to make any links and corrections. PLEASE use the "Suggest Edit" tab. Please feel free to add photos where appropriate, as you do not need to manage the memorial to add photos. I HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR OUT OF GUIDELINES TRANSFERS. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE TRANSFER RELATIVES TO ME WITHOUT MY ASKING.

Transfers will be made that fall into the category for required transfers. All others will be at my discretion. Use the Suggest Other Correction feature.

Feel free to copy my headstone photos, photos of mausoleums, and area photos. No need to ask permission but please give credit to me as the photographer. Please do not copy my family portrait photos to subscription websites, including Ancestry.

Findagrave says that if you cannot locate the burial, this is probably not the place for you to create a memorial. I agree and will not usually link to unknown burials. Do your research and find the location. Some locations will never be found and so they belong on sites like Ancestry or FamilySearch. Researchers will be able to find them there. The primary purpose of this site is to FIND a grave. Everything else is just extra.
