Management Software

How CemeteryBase works
CemeteryBase takes most cemeteries from signup to a live public page in a single afternoon. Upload your existing map, draw plot boundaries with the visual grid tool, import records from a spreadsheet, and go live instantly. No consultants, no training sessions, no IT department required.

| 2. Draw your plots | Use the visual grid tool to draw sections and individual plot boundaries | 30–60 minutes |
| 3. Import records | Upload a CSV or Excel file — the import wizard auto-matches columns | 10 minutes |
| 4. Go live | Share your public page link — families can search and reserve plots | Instant |
One platform for everything your cemetery needs
CemeteryBase includes eight core features in every plan at no extra cost: interactive mapping, burial records, public grave search, online payments, deed generation, staff accounts, data import, and enterprise-grade security. No modules to buy, no add-ons, no tiers — every customer gets every feature for one price.
Interactive Cemetery Mapping
Upload a paper map or use satellite imagery. Draw sections and plots with our visual grid tool. Color-coded by availability — green for available, blue for sold, gray for occupied.
Burial Record Database
Centralize every burial record, plot owner, and document. Import existing spreadsheets in minutes. Instant search across all records with under 200ms response time.
Public Grave Search
Every cemetery gets a public page where families search by name and find their loved one on the interactive map. No app download needed.
Online Plot Payments
Families browse available plots and reserve online with credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Payments go directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect.
Deed Template Generator
Create professional deed certificates with your logo and branding. Auto-fill from records, print-ready PDFs, one-click generation.
Up to 5 Staff Accounts
Admin and staff roles with appropriate permissions. Everyone on the same page, accessing the same data in real time.
Data Security & Backups
Row-level security, encrypted data in transit and at rest, automatic backups. Payment processing handled by Stripe — card details never touch our servers.
Cloud-Based, Any Device
No software to install. Works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Access from desktops, tablets, or phones — even in the field.

CemeteryBase is purpose-built for cemeteries handling 15 to 300 burials per year. Over 19,000 cemeteries in the United States still rely on paper records and filing cabinets.
