COORDINATES

The coordinates must be obtained by a personal visit to the grave/location. 'Drive-bys' are not allowed.

LONG DESCRIPTION

- Give us a description of the artwork [REQUIRED]. This is an art category, so please describe the art. For example: What material was used? What is depicted? Is the name of the artist engraved somewhere? In what condition is the artwork?
- Provide the full text on the headstone. Some headstones/slabs are adjacent, but separate from the the monument as it is a family memorial. You may wish to include this text.
- If the descriptive text provided for the Waymark includes text copied in whole or in part from another web site or sites, you MUST provide a "source" reference in the description to give credit to the source from which the text was obtained.
- Provide the name of the location and the hours the piece is available for viewing by the public. Indicate if there is an admission fee or other special circumstances (ex., removing ones hat in a church).
- Provide an English translation to help our English-only Officers review your Waymark.

NOTE: Do not touch or try to 'clean' the headstone. All headstones are private property and many older ones are delicate and you could accidentally damage them.

PHOTOS

A MINIMUM of three distinct and clear photos are required. One detailed picture of the artwork itself, a second picture that shows the entire grave and the third (or more) of the inscription. Some headstones/slabs are adjacent, but separate from the the monument as it is a family memorial. These additional stones could also be photographed. Great photography is required (ex., focused photos that are well framed; sharp close-ups). Additional pictures are highly encouraged to gain a better sense and appreciation for the funerary art. As a suggestion, take photos of the sides, rear, oblique angle if the piece deserves it. Close-ups of details are always appreciated. A digital crop of one photo is NOT a distinct second or third photo. This is your chance to show off your discovery to the world.
