    • Change to Date Modified

      Mark posted a blog entry in Find a Grave,

      With the release of the new Location Service, the Date Modified option on memorial sort will now only reflect changes to the Cemetery Name and Cemetery Search Location. Other changes to the Cemetery will no longer trigger these modifications.

    • Change in how Defunct Cemeteries will be shown

      Mark posted a blog entry in Find a Grave,

      With the update to Location Services, we are changing Defunct cemeteries will be marked. 
       
      This cemetery is marked as being historical or removed.  No longer accepting burials No long accepting photo requests.  
      These are also independent status indicators and can be used individually on any cemetery.

    • Updates to Cemetery and Geography Location Services

      Mark posted a blog entry in Find a Grave,

      Last week we rolled out a large update to the Location Service on Find a Grave. The majority of the update involved the administrative back end. However, there are a few changes to the member facing side. The biggest change is the update to the Add a Cemetery work flow. You will now be required to search first before the option to add a cemetery is shown. We hope this helps to reduce the number of duplicated cemeteries.
       

       
       
      After clicking Add Cemetery, the Name and Location fields will be filled in automatically with what was entered in the previous search page. From here you may update the name and/or location, Set the GPS and Address using the map, enter GPS manually without the help of the map and include a description. These are the basics of creating a cemetery.
       

       
       
      However, we have added more functionality to the page. You can now add cemetery aliases and names in other languages if appropriate. 
       

       
      You can add more Details including street address in another language and an expanded location selection.
       

       
      Other options include contact information, status, and additional information.

    • Unmapped Cemeteries By Country March 2023

      Mark posted a blog entry in Find a Grave,

      Unmapped Cemeteries broken out by Country. 5-color level.
      This means that the cemeteries listed for that country do not have GPS assigned to them.
      How does your country look?
