Feature comparison
Comparison based on publicly available information from Cemify's website (Coyote Creek Digital) as of September 2026. Please verify current details with the vendor.
Why cemeteries choose CemeteryBase
Both publish pricing — the models differ
Cemify publishes annual tiers: Preservation at $799/yr (records, mapping, public website, 3 logins), Management at $1,299/yr (adds document templates, work orders, and holds, 5 logins), and Partner at $1,899/yr — billed annually only, plus a one-time setup quoted per cemetery. CemeteryBase is $99/mo or $899/yr with every feature included, no setup fee, and a monthly option if you don’t want an annual commitment.
Online plot payments
CemeteryBase includes online plot reservation and payment through Stripe Connect, with funds settling directly to your bank. Online payments are not an advertised Cemify feature — if you’re evaluating Cemify, confirm payment capabilities with the vendor.
Deed template generator on every plan
CemeteryBase lets you create professional deed certificates with your logo and branding, auto-filled from your records, at every price. With Cemify, document templates arrive at the Management tier ($1,299/yr).
Self-serve setup and import
With CemeteryBase you import records and plot data yourself — CSV, Excel, KML, KMZ, and GeoJSON — and draw your map with the visual grid tool, usually within days. Cemify’s model has the vendor build and update your map with bundled consultation hours, with the one-time setup quoted per cemetery.
When Cemify may fit better
If you want the vendor to build and maintain your map for you and you prefer a records-and-mapping bundle with consultation hours included, Cemify’s published tiers are a reasonable service-led option. CemeteryBase is the better fit when you value self-serve speed, built-in payments and deeds, a monthly billing option, and cancel-anytime flexibility.
