To those interested, find a grave is also a great genealogical tool. You’ll be surprised what you’ll find, and kudos to the volunteers who take the pictures and inventory the cemeteries.

You can also find the virtual graves of famous people and leave virtual flowers and/or a note for them.
Marilyn Monroe has the most, I believe, at 11,700- even beating out Elvis by some 4,000 messages.
