Memorial creator:
PLEASE do not place a person who has been cremated in a cemetery unless you know FOR SURE that the person has been placed there by scattering, interment, etc.--then ADD that info to grave info or bio info. It is tempting to place the person where family members are or where you think the person "might" be, but you are making it hard on the volunteers who take pictures--they sure can't find someone who was never there. Some who take pictures make a list from "graves with no photos"--they should not have to read every bio to find out if a "memorial service at a later date" was held. If you link the cremated to the family members in cemeteries, then the person CAN be found. Use hyperlinking or put the Find a Grave memorial number in the bio section for the cremated person and close kin if linking isn't possible. Also, a lot of funeral homes will share information unless the family has asked for no information to be released.

Bottom line: you are making it hard on your fellow volunteers who look for the graves of these memorials you rush to create and put somewhere. Don't be inconsiderate.

"Consider, friend, as you pass by:
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you too shall be.
Prepare, therefore, to follow me."

And the retort:
"To follow you I'm not content,
Until I know which way you went!"
