"BillionGraves" is, in my opinion, growing but it falls short of having a billion graves posted on its website.
Also, unlike "Find A Grave" which is still a free website; "BillionGraves" gives the options of joining as a free member or an upgrade to a paid subscriber account.

That said, however, the BillionGraves Blog offers some interesting and useful posts worthy of a reader's time. This second part post on the subject of identifying symbols on grave markers or the medallion type flag holders (this is a 3-part series on the subject) is one that is quite useful to most of us who frequent cemeteries.
Historical notes about the symbols and the organization they represent are with the corresponding sample photographs.
This is certainly a handy reference guide to save and refer to whenever needed.
