SextonMap: Cemetery App

SextonMap is a cemetery app that helps small cemeteries manage cemetery plots, burial records and deed ownership on a map they create. Draw each section as a grid, tap a plot to record burials and owners, and see which plots are available, owned, occupied or reserved. Built for church cemeteries, township cemeteries and family burial grounds, and the volunteer sexton, church treasurer or township clerk who keeps their records.

Keep plot maps, burial details, headstone photos and deed records together on your phone, including out in the cemetery grounds.

WHAT IT DOES

Draw each section

Give a section a name and say how many rows and how many plots in a row. SextonMap lays out a grid you can tap and zoom. Mark paths, trees and unusable ground, and join two or more plots into a double or family plot, so the map matches what you see when you walk the rows.

Plot records

Each plot keeps its status, capacity (single, double, cremation or family), notes, and the owner: name, contact, deed number, purchase date and price paid.

Burials

Name, birth and death dates, burial date, casket or cremains, funeral home, officiant, inscription and notes, with a photo of the headstone taken on the spot. Old registers often give only a year or a month, so dates can be a full date, a month and year, or a year alone.

Search

Search recorded burials by name, see their plot location and open the plot on the map. The Owners tab lists every deed holder with their plots.

Bring in your old records

Import a CSV saved from Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. SextonMap guesses which column holds names, dates, section, row and plot, lets you correct it, shows a preview, and skips rows already recorded with the same name and death year. Sections are made or widened to fit.

Registers and reports

Print or share a burial register PDF by section or span of years, a plot availability report, and a plot ownership record (deed) for each owner. Export everything to CSV or JSON at any time.

Public burial search page

With Pro, families and genealogists look up a surname on a web page with your cemetery's name and see dates, section, row and plot, and a small map with the plot marked. Headstone photos appear only where you switch them on. Owners, deeds, prices and notes never appear on the page, and nothing changes there until you publish again.

Volunteer seats

With Pro, volunteers you invite open the cemetery records on their own phones, and each change shows who made it and when.

Works out in the field

The map and records keep working with no signal in the grounds. Changes are saved on the phone and sent when the connection returns.

TIERS

Standard keeps one section of up to 200 plots with burials, photos, search and the register PDF. Solo adds unlimited sections and plots, spreadsheet import and export, and deed PDFs, as a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Pro adds the public burial search page, three volunteer seats and the edit history. Everything you recorded stays readable on every tier.

WHO IT IS FOR

Church, township, village and family cemeteries kept by volunteers or part-time staff, and anyone who answers the question "where is my grandmother buried?" for a small burial ground.

SextonMap is an office record. It is not a survey or a GIS map, and it is not a state burial register; check what your state or county asks a cemetery to keep. Records are stored on SextonMap's servers so every volunteer and the public page see the same data.
