After analyzing recent complaints, FindAGrave has made some changes in its policies. Here is a clip from their recent announcement.
"Over the years, we’ve heard from members about the timing of memorials for people who are recently deceased. The time directly following the loss of a loved one can be challenging and when a family member finds that an unrelated person has created a Find a Grave® memorial for their loved one before the family has had a reasonable time to mourn, it can add to the emotional strain.
We’ve made some changes on the site that we hope will help close relatives, while still supporting the Find a Grave community’s efforts to catalog death and burial information. These changes include:
Limits on what is shown on memorials for people who have died in the past 3 months.
An option for memorial creators and managers to indicate their relationship to the person memorialized.
A simplified process for family members to request management of memorials of people who have died in the past year.
Other updates to support these changes.
These changes will apply to memorials added after January 11, 2022."
They are also updating transfer guidelines to include some close relatives that are not in a direct line.
