All-in-One Cemetery
Management Software
CemeteryBase is cloud-based cemetery management software that replaces paper maps, filing cabinets, and spreadsheets with one modern platform. It includes interactive mapping, a burial record database, public grave search for families, online plot payments via Stripe, and deed generation — all for $99/month with no setup fees. Built for small to mid-sized cemeteries handling 15–300 burials per year.
Upload your map, draw plots, import records, and go live in days, not months. Families search for loved ones online and reserve available plots with a credit card. All features included, no setup fees, cancel anytime.
How CemeteryBase works
CemeteryBase takes most cemeteries from signup to a live public page in days, not months. Upload your existing map, draw plot boundaries with the visual grid tool, import records from a spreadsheet, and publish. How long it takes depends on your records and the size of your cemetery. No training sessions or IT department required.
| Step | What you do | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Upload your map | Scan your paper map or use satellite imagery as a base layer | 5 minutes |
| 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.
Built for small to mid-sized cemeteries
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. CemeteryBase gives them an affordable, modern alternative that requires no technical expertise and no IT department to operate.
Municipal Cemeteries
City and town-operated cemeteries that need to modernize record keeping and offer families digital access to burial information and plot maps.
Church Cemeteries
Church-run burial grounds looking for an affordable, easy-to-use system to manage plots, records, and deeds without IT support.
Independent Cemeteries
Privately owned cemeteries that want online payments, public search pages, and professional deed generation to grow revenue.
Cemetery Districts
Small cemetery districts managing one or two properties that need a centralized digital platform accessible by multiple staff members.
CemeteryBase vs. competitors
CemeteryBase costs $899 in Year 1 with zero setup fees and published pricing. Most competitors quote subscriptions and setup as a custom project — published pricing is rare in cemetery software. CemeteryBase includes online plot payments and deed generation at no extra cost, with setup in days, not months and no contract required.

CemeteryBase vs. legacy cemetery software
Traditional cemetery software is typically sold as a vendor-led project: custom-quoted setup, vendor-built maps, and weeks to months of onboarding. CemeteryBase is cloud-based, has zero setup fees, and most cemeteries go live in days rather than months — usually a fraction of a vendor-led project's Year 1 cost.
| Feature | Legacy Software | CemeteryBase |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | Usually quote-based | $899/yr |
| Map setup | Vendor-built, quoted per project | $0 (self-service) |
| Installation | Varies (desktop or cloud) | Cloud — nothing to install |
| Online payments | Varies by vendor | Included |
| Public grave search | Sometimes | Included |
| Deed generation | Varies by vendor | Included |
| Mobile access | Varies | Full — any device |
| Time to go live | Typically weeks to months (vendor-led) | Days to weeks |
| Total Year 1 | Quote-dependent | $899 |
Simple, all-inclusive pricing
