Cemetery information management

Your records are only as good as the last person who kept them.

Goldbeck turns a century of paper, memory and guesswork into one accurate map your staff can trust.

1 · The situation

Most cemeteries still run on paper and memory

After 50 or 100 years, the records and the ground no longer agree.

Records drift

Ledgers, cards and hand-drawn maps, updated by different people over decades.

The ground changes

Markers settle, shift or disappear. Some burials were never recorded at all.

Knowledge walks out the gate

The person who "just knows" where everyone is buried won't be there forever.

2 · The challenge

Simple questions, uncertain answers

These come up every week. Here's how they get answered today, and with Goldbeck.

TodayWith Goldbeck

"Is plot C-14 available to sell?"

Check two ledgers and a paper map, then walk out and look.

Plot status on screen, confirmed by survey and radar.

"Where is my grandmother buried?"

Staff search the files while the family waits.

Families search by name and walk straight to the grave.

"Is anyone buried in this open ground?"

No one is sure. A burial could be disturbed.

Radar has scanned it. Unrecorded burials are flagged before any sale.

"Who owns this lot?"

The deed, the ledger and the map disagree.

Every record is matched to one plot, and conflicts are resolved.

"How much space do we have left?"

An estimate, give or take a section.

A counted inventory and an engineered plan for the next section.

3 · The risk of waiting

Every year without accurate records raises the stakes

Double-sold plots

Two families, one grave. A costly and painful mistake.

Disturbed burials

Digging where an unrecorded grave lies.

Lost knowledge

Retirements take decades of memory with them.

Family trust

Slow or wrong answers erode the cemetery's reputation.

4 · The solution

One program that maps your cemetery from the ground up

Five layers of information, combined into a single source of truth.

Below ground

Ground penetrating radar

Finds known, unknown and shifted burials without digging.

On the ground

Professional survey & GPS

Locates every plot and headstone, with a photo of each marker.

From the air

Drone imagery

A georeferenced aerial base map of the whole site.

In the office

Records reconciliation

Ledgers and deeds scanned, matched to plots and conflicts resolved.

In your hands

GIS map & staff app

One map for staff, a grave search for families, and a printed map for the office.

5 · The result

From uncertainty to ground truth

Drag to compare.
