Findagrave plays on human fragilities. More precisely emotion. FindAGrave entices bereaved families to make memorials for deceased relatives only to take over and appoint one of their contributing editors. In my case it was a dysfunctional woman, Megan Heyl. Not only did Megan Heyl take over the memorials she added info from the net that has nothing to do with a memorial including but not limited to divorces, multiple marriages, out of wedlock children to name a few. What a sicko. This kind of data is "time sensitive, personal data bordering on tabloid" and really has no business on a memorial site. Megan Heyl's response "that info is public record. Therefore she is just doing research." Even worse FindAGrave encourages this kind of behavior by reinforcing it with brownie points that supposed to get these psychopath major contributors into Mormon heaven. . In theory these major contributors r supposed to turn family memorials back to the families when asked but they never do. If you object or complain you are banned and blocked from the site and threatened with police action. I am 75 years old and thought I had seen it all until FindAGrave. What a rude awakening. As they say shit happens. So true brotha so true.

In summary, I would not recommend Find A Grave to a friend.
