I am very grateful that Find-A-Grave exists. I use it frequently and I am also a contributor. I think it would be in the best interest of F-A-G to establish a waiting period before memorials are posted for those recently deceased. Personally, if it were my family member, I would wait at least 6 months before posting anything online. Somewhere between 3-6 months would be reasonable. Shirley Ann Rankin

I too am very grateful for the work volunteers do adding to the Findagrave database to memorialize and honor those who have passed. I have recently lost both my parents so understand the pain. However, more regulations and rules are not necessary. If you've recently lost someone and it would bother you to see their information posted, then don't go looking for it. And if someone points it out to you, just don't go there. It's easier (and makes more sense) for each of us individually to control our own choices then to impose restrictions on everybody else. We can each make our own decision. And if you don't like obituary information posted on the internet then discuss with family members what to include or exclude in the obituary. Phyllis
