Our mapping system has been built on the industry leader in end-user GIS development systems.

Why GIS? Geographical Information Systems have been around for a long time and are finding new applications every day. They are particularly suited for the cemetery industry because they can create an extremely accurate on-screen map and then incorporate data from an outside data system right into the map. That means that a user can view a grave on the screen, know it's status by it's color code, see the owner/occupant name right on the grave, and click on it to see more data about the grave. Here the data are such items as deed numbers, contract numbers, dates of birth/death/interment, address, marker codes, etc… Cembase Cemetery Mapping has proven track record as a vital tool for sales, management, record management, customer support, and even grounds maintenance.
