Cemetery Mapping

Cemetery mapping is the process of creating detailed diagrams or maps of burial grounds to document the locations of graves, monuments, and features within the cemetery. This practice helps in preserving the history of the site, assisting visitors in finding specific graves, and maintaining the grounds effectively. Maps can be traditional paper layouts or digital formats, often enhanced with GPS technology. Cemetery mapping aids in record-keeping for genealogical research, historical studies, and cultural heritage preservation, ensuring that the stories of those buried are remembered and accessible to future generations.
