scrape-a-grave not working (2023)

Attempted running scrape-a-grave without making any modifications to the code. It is unable to scrape any of the 9 test URL's in input.txt
Error: <class 'urllib.error.HTTPError'>
Successfully parsed 0 of 9
In debugging the code I discovered that the site is now blocking site scrapping code. This is what returns:
<h1>
Access denied
</h1>
<span class="cf-code-label">
Error code
<span>
1020
</span>
</span>
</div>
<div class="cf-error-description">
<p>
You do not have access to www.findagrave.com.
</p>

The site owner may have set restrictions that prevent you from accessing the site.

I have a working scraper, but not sure if it's a good idea to post it publicly. email me at my username at gmail
I have the same issue, the scraper is not working anymore and it is a little bit annoying. But what annoys me even more is that I can't download my full data (data entered by me) from findagrave.com website, although the website gives such an option. Everything that I get after downloading my data from fingagrave.com is just a URL with grave ID, and the date when the data was entered and nothing more, and that sucks. I even can't get all the attribute information (Full name, date of birth, place of birth, date of death, place of death, etc.) that was created by me. Can anyone fix this scraper so that this thing works again?
