  1. findagrave rules were to crop the stone. No surrounding landscape. Fortunately, many people didn’t and even a few used a picture of the whole plot. If I could go back and do it over, I’d do the same.

  2. I take one pick of the grave close up and one of the grave and the surroundings so that people may see the relatives that might be buried nearby.
