Lazarus Cemetery Mapping

What is Lazarus Cemetery Mapping?

Lazarus Cemetery Mapping is a cemetery digitization and mapping solution designed to help cemeteries replace fragmented paper records and traditional maps with an organized, searchable digital system. We combine cemetery software with hands-on data conversion and on-site mapping services so that cemetery teams can move from legacy records to a practical digital workflow without having to manage the transition alone.

Our approach begins with the information you already have. Paper maps, handwritten ledgers, burial records, spreadsheets, and other cemetery documents can be scanned, transcribed, organized, and transferred into a structured digital database. Existing digital records can also be imported. The result is a searchable environment that helps staff find names, sections, lots, graves, and plot information in seconds instead of searching through filing cabinets or walking the grounds to confirm basic information.

Highlights and advantages

• Accurate digital mapping: Cemetery layouts are verified on site, with memorial and plot locations checked against existing records.
• GPS-based plot mapping: Digital maps can show open, sold, and occupied plots in a clear, color-coded view.
• Searchable cemetery records: Staff can quickly locate burial information, names, lots, sections, and graves.
• Record preservation: Historic cemetery information can be converted from paper into a structured digital database for long-term use.
• Access from multiple device types: Cemetery maps can be viewed from desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
• Memorial photography: Images of headstones, memorials, columbariums, and other cemetery objects can support administration and public grave-site viewing.
• Data protection: Digital records can be backed up within the software, and digitized record sets can also be retained separately.

A practical transition from paper to digital

Lazarus Cemetery Mapping is especially useful for organizations that have accumulated decades or even centuries of records in different formats. Our team can visit the cemetery, scan source documents, verify burial locations on the grounds, capture aerial imagery, transcribe information, and build an interactive map connected with cemetery records. This reduces the burden on cemetery staff and creates a more consistent information base for day-to-day administration.

The system is also suitable for cemeteries that do not require a complete mapping project. Record digitization can be used as a standalone service when the primary goal is to preserve documents and make information easier to search. For organizations that do need mapping, the combination of digitized records, verified locations, high-resolution imagery, and interactive plot information creates a central working environment for cemetery administration.

Improve accessibility and preserve cemetery knowledge

By bringing maps, burial records, plot information, and memorial imagery into a digital workflow, Lazarus Cemetery Mapping helps cemetery teams work more efficiently while preserving important historical information for the future. Training and ongoing support are part of the delivery process, helping staff adopt the new system with confidence.
