I am a Member of Find-A-Grave and a contributor. I attempt to photograph headstones for individuals who have posted a request on the Find-A-Grave site. I accessed the records of those individuals requesting the photograph and grave location. Mt. Olivet granted me access to the book and I photographed 60 headstones and posted them to Find-A-Grave. I got many many thank you's for fulfilling these requests. I go back today (5/25/16) to try to fulfill the remaining requests from Find-A-Grave. I am told that it is an invasion of privacy and I am to stop doing it. How can it be an invasion of privacy if these people are requesting these grave locations and photos. I am not accessing anyone other than the people being requested. I was told that these people could email someone and that they would in turn give them the grave location. I asked if they would take a photo of the grave stone for them and they replied no. I think it is an injustice on Mt. Olivet's part that they are denying me to do this and denying these people, who are out of the state and can't get here to photograph the headstone themselves, the opportunity to see the headstone that they requested. It is sad to see what state our society is in, even for those who have passed. I have posted this on Facebook and the Find-A-Grave community forum.
The cemetery is not maintaining the graves as they should. There is so many headstones that are slightly sinking to badly sinking into the ground. There is no reason why these graves are not better taken care of by Mount Olivet.
As many people are aware, Mt.Olivet can do whatever their rules say, because they are a privately owned cemetery. Most cemeteries are under city or a private association & most do not care if photographs are taken. I see one viewers point & I can also see Mt.Olivet's.
The cemetery is well kept and i like that there is someone you can talk to in the office area.
