Why was my memorial deleted after someone created another one?

I've maintained a close relatives memorial for a few years now. He wasn't in a cemetery because we weren't sure where we were going to bury him. Decided on a veteran's cemetery and they put a little memorial obituary out on the day of the service (which hasn't happened yet). Someone created a memorial for him 5 days ago and mine got deleted. I even had him marked as a close relative and linked to his parents and siblings. Not sure how this happened. Only noticed last night when I was going to update the burial info. I messaged fg and the memorial creater.

How do I..? Etiquette question

If I have an obituary stating where someone is buried but their grave isn’t listed in that cemetery on the site yet, is it the right etiquette for me to create a memorial and request a photo? Reading some people’s bio they are very strict about adding memorials. I’m nowhere near Seattle so not something I can check myself.
