“One place to find all relevant information. Previously we were relying on 4 sources of information and 80% of the time had to physically go outside to find the grave. Reduces the chance of directing grave digger to the incorrect location.”

Debra R.

See related user reviews

“The blocking of my cemetery was done over many years and with different ideas of placement. Some lots are 16" x 12", others are. 32" x 16", and some 28" x 12". There are headstones in the middle of rows of graves and some lines of stones curve down into lower lots. Without the ariel mapping, it would be impossible to understand placement. Then with the poorly kept records, it is seriously difficult to determine where people are and are not buried. Chronicle's mapping feature has saved me some mistakes I would have regretted.”

“It has been very helpful to be able to see the map with the drone imaging. This has help to direct people to certain plots and visualize the cemetery.”
