Geneanet’s Save Our Graves project has surpassed five million graves. The photos are freely accessible as is all data shared by Geneanet members.
The collection is searchable by a deceased person’s name and/or place.
You can access the photo collection through the Search menu by selecting Cemeteries and Memorials.
You can also search for a cemetery on the interactive map. Many countries are included in this collection with France appearing to have the greatest number with almost 30,000 grave photos.
You can add your own photos to Geneanet. The Save Our Graves project simplifies the uploading and indexing of gravesite photos, through a smartphone/tablet app (iOS and Android) and an online indexing tool. Geneanet says, “The goal is simple: preserve the memory of the departed by indexing their names with gravesite photos.”
