CemeteryFind

What is CemeteryFind?

CemeteryFind is a cloud-based cemetery records management and mapping solution designed to help cemetery owners and administrators replace fragmented paper files and legacy records with a searchable, web-based system. The software combines burial and lot information, scanned source documents, public record search and optional interactive cemetery mapping in one environment. Staff can maintain lot sales, lot owners and interment records while keeping related documents and images connected to the corresponding digital record.

The platform is built for practical day-to-day cemetery administration. Authorized users can add and edit records, search for names and lot information, print burial and owner cards, and create deeds or forms using information already stored in the system. Access levels can be assigned to different users, helping organizations separate read-only access, record maintenance and administrative responsibilities.

Benefits for cemetery organizations

CemeteryFind helps reduce the time spent searching through filing cabinets, paper maps and disconnected computer files. By linking records, documents and maps, cemetery staff can answer family inquiries more quickly, locate graves more efficiently and maintain a clearer view of burial and ownership information. The public search option can also reduce routine lookup requests by allowing families and visitors to find permitted information online without exposing records that the cemetery wants to keep private.

For organizations that still depend heavily on paper, CemeteryFind can support a structured transition to digital records. Existing burial cards, lot cards, ledger books, deeds and maps can be scanned and connected with the online database, allowing familiar historical records to remain available while new information is managed digitally. This combination of record management, mapping and document access makes CemeteryFind a focused solution for cemeteries that want to modernize their administrative processes while preserving valuable historical data.
