In Kiev and other places in Ukraine, hospitals, administrative buildings and army buildings are marked as "Funeral Homes". People have been trying to contact Google about this through different sources, but they are still there.

This is in the best case extremely distasteful trolling, in the worst case this is used for indicating targets for bombing.

Please help me get this to the attention of Google to delete these labels asap.




The appropriate people in the Google Geo organization are aware of this and are investigating / taking action.


Looking for an escalation path w/in Geo.


Bug reported for escalation.

In the future, you may be able to use this content removal link; as I believe it will also provide for an internal escalation path:

Or may be it is marked like this by Ukrainians so that when Russian soldiers look it up, they don’t bother to bomb them as what is the point in bombing a funeral home .
