Most all questions are answered In Findagrave 'Frequently Asked Questions'. They do have a way to create memorials through the Friend and Family feature. See Below: What if someone was cremated or does not have a traditional 'grave'? We believe everyone should be remembered equally and have built our site to support most of the common alternatives to burial, including ash scatterings, family possession of ashes and others. Anyone who has passed away can have an online memorial where relatives and friends can come and leave flowers, notes, etc. You must use the Family and Friends form to add these alternatives to traditional burial.

I have many ancestors that I know for a fact are in unmarked graves. I surely cannot be expected to place markers for all of them. So, I for one will not remove a burial I have listed that does not have a grave marker. Lost graves are important too. I want to know where they went even if they are no longer marked. If someone has a problem with that, it is because they do not know their family history. I come from a long line of poor people who probably did well to have a wooden stake...But, my grandmother knew where they were all buried. I take offense that because you do not find a marker indicates the person is not buried there. I have been going through the Georgia Death Certs on line and most of those tell you where the person was buried. I am trying to account for them too. Although, they are not listed in cemetery books or a grave is found. I have a cousin who is buried in what is now an unmarked grave next to her grandparents, out in a country cemetery. I saw this grave when I was little, it was a tiny little slab of concrete. Many years later it is no longer visible and there is a sunken spot there. However, her parents bought a lot in town and had a memorial for her placed in their lot. There are a multitude of reasons that can apply in this situation. I placed her in the proper cemetery on FAG, however, the Thomas Co., cemetery book shows she is buried in town when she was not. All because there IS a marker in one and not in the other. My Grandfather's 1st wife died in 1900. They were share croppers and I am sure the reason she cannot be located in Bradford Co., Fl. is that she had no marker. FAG should have a place to list people who are buried in unknown cemeteries. I think each county should have one, however, they removed the 2 Unknown Cemetery entries I tried to make. I am sorry if I am stepping on toes here, but, I don't want any of my family forgotten, marked or unmarked. That is very important to me. You will find that I often say this is a memorial because NO ONE knows where this person is buried. Winnette --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
