Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

Thomas Dick (1789-1876) is my 4th great-grandfather. Helen Watt ((1783-1850) was Thomas's wife. Helen M. was their daughter. John Jenkinson was their grandson, s/o their other daughter Mary. I have been researching my Dick family for several years, even visited Edinburgh a few years ago (I live in NJ, USA). Wish I knew then where my family was buried. A photo of their grave monument would be fantastic! I am a member of findagrave.com which has info on over 88 million graves - mostly USA. When you send me a picture of the grave monument, may I post it onto findagrave.com? Also, may I post it on my ancestry.com family tree? I will attribute it to you or your site or however you want. Thank you so much!
