Cemetery Section Gone
Can anyone tell me what happened to the cemetery section under All Activities? I used it all the time. It was a huge resource for information and I'm so disappointed that it's gone. Can anyone help me? Thank you

For US cemeteries, try Find-a-Grave

Will this list help you?

@FloCosta there's a Cemeteries option in the Search menu, is that the same thing relocated? Apologies if it's something else.

@MandyShaw1 The two are (or rather were) different things.
The one that the @FloCosta is describing seems to have vanished. It used to allow the user to pick any location in the world, and it would list the user's relatives' burial places in order of increasing distance from the chosen location.
@SerraNola Can you advise what has happened to that activity?

@MandyShaw1 You are right, that's exactly what I am talking about. I used that section several times a week and it was so helpful. I am super disappointed that it seems to have been removed. They have a cemetery section now that isn't much help unless you know the person's name that you are looking for. The old way, they showed you who was related, how they were related, birth and death years, cemetery they are in and the find a grave link. I can't find any of that now with the new cemetery section.

Thank you everyone, but none of what you gave me will be of help. @MandyShaw1 appears to understand what section I was speaking of

@FloCosta @SerraNola The link that you provided used to be accessible via the Activities —> All Activities page (on the second row, from memory). But it's not there any more.

So, about six hours later, that activity has reappeared! It's now the first entry on the second ("campaign") row of "Family History Activities"; it used to be further along in the row:

I just submitted via Feedback the following problem:
I am only seeing a random handful of relatives' graves.
I verified that their PIDs lists the cemeteries and are "standardized places"0 -
Engineering had removed this campaign from the Activities page to reduce load. It was re-enabled this morning, but is subject to change.

@SerraNola I have suggested this before and didn't get anywhere, but can there not be a list of recent functionality changes somewhere, kept up to date by the engineers and accessible via the home page, or on a pinned post here, perhaps? That would make both users' and regular Community contributors' lives easier. Bulk changes to Record access could go on there too.
