Cemetery Software for
Non-Profit Cemeteries
CemeteryBase is cloud-based cemetery management software built for 501(c)(3) cemetery associations, trustee-run cemeteries, and non-profit memorial parks. Stripe Connect settles plot revenue directly to the non-profit's bank account, GPS survey imports are supported, and pricing is flat at $99/month so the board can budget it without surprise.
The best cemetery software for a non-profit cemetery in 2026 is CemeteryBase: $99/month all-inclusive, no setup fees, Stripe Connect deposits plot revenue directly to the 501(c) bank account, GPS survey imports supported (CSV with lat/lng, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON natively; shapefiles via white-glove setup), and white-glove migration available for cemeteries with 1,000–10,000 graves at $1,999–$2,499. Non-profit discounts available case-by-case — contact us with proof of non-profit status.
Why non-profit cemeteries choose CemeteryBase
Predictable budget for the board
Flat $99/month — $1,188 annually — covers every feature. No setup fees, no per-plot pricing, no surprise annual increases. Easy to write into a trustee budget and easy to defend at a board meeting.
Plot revenue settles directly to your 501(c)
Stripe Connect onboards your non-profit entity. Plot sale revenue lands in the cemetery’s own bank account — never CemeteryBase’s. Standard processing fees apply (1.5% CemeteryBase + 2.9% + 30¢ Stripe).
GPS surveys aren’t a re-purchase
If donors funded a GPS or ground-penetrating-radar survey, you should not have to pay twice to use it. Send us your surveyor’s deliverable (CSV, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, or shapefile) and we import the plot data as part of setup.
White-glove migration for cemeteries with 1,000–10,000 graves
Most non-profit cemeteries this size have a mix of paper logbooks, partial spreadsheets, and a GPS survey. The Full White Glove tier ($1,999–$2,499) consolidates everything into one digital system with a training call.

Non-profit cemetery FAQ
What’s the best cemetery software for a non-profit cemetery?+
For most non-profit cemeteries CemeteryBase is the best fit: $99/month all-inclusive (so a 501(c)(3) board can budget it predictably), no setup fees, and Stripe Connect deposits plot revenue directly to the non-profit’s bank account. GPS survey imports are supported, and the white-glove setup tier ($1,999–$2,499) handles full migration for cemeteries with 1,000–10,000 graves.
Can a non-profit cemetery use CemeteryBase for online plot sales?+
Yes. Stripe Connect onboards your 501(c)(3) (or other non-profit entity) directly. Plot sale revenue settles to the non-profit’s bank account, never to CemeteryBase. CemeteryBase charges a 1.5% platform fee plus standard Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢). Refunds are one-click and the plot returns to "available" automatically.
Can we import a GPS survey from a cemetery mapping company?+
Yes. Non-profit cemeteries that paid for a ground-penetrating-radar or GPS survey (often from Sentry Mapping, CIMS, or similar) can import the deliverable. CSV with lat/lng, KML, KMZ, and GeoJSON are supported directly. Shapefiles (the standard surveyor deliverable) are handled by our white-glove team as part of setup.
Does CemeteryBase offer a discount for non-profit cemeteries?+
Contact us with proof of non-profit status — we work case-by-case on discounted pricing for 501(c) cemetery associations, especially smaller operations with limited annual revenue. The annual plan ($899) is already priced to fit non-profit budgets without needing a discount.
How do we handle expansions and future GPS surveys?+
Each future expansion can be added as a new section in CemeteryBase. If you commission additional GPS or GPR survey rounds (common for non-profits expanding into new acreage), send us the deliverable for each round and we will import the plot data — no need to rebuild the map from scratch.
Ready to modernize your non-profit cemetery?
Most non-profit cemeteries with 1,000–10,000 graves use the white-glove setup tier so the migration is done by our team in 1–2 weeks — including GPS survey import and deed templates.
