Requesting Deletion

Account Requests

Use the CemList contact page to request deletion of an account or personal information. Include the email address associated with the account so we can identify the request.

Identity Verification

CemList may need to verify that you control the account before processing a request. Do not send sensitive documents unless CemList specifically asks for them through an appropriate channel.

What May Be Deleted

Personal Information

A deletion request may include account profile information, contact details, and information submitted through CemList features, subject to the limits described below.

Public Content

CemList will review whether listings, photos, or directory submissions connected to an account should be removed, corrected, anonymized, or retained for recordkeeping. Cemetery-owned records may require separate confirmation from the cemetery.

Information That May Be Retained

Legal, Security, and Recordkeeping Needs

Some information may need to be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or accounting.

Third-Party Services

Deleting information from CemList does not automatically remove information held by independent services or cemetery offices. Requests to those organizations must be made directly to them.

Data Copies and Timing

Data Copies

You may use the CemList contact page to ask what account information is available.

Processing Time

CemList will process deletion requests as promptly as possible. Complex requests, or those requiring identity verification, may take additional time.
