How GraveGuide Helps

Designed around the visit.

Most cemetery tools start with admin data. GraveGuide starts with the person arriving at the gate, trying to find someone they care about.

Search clear cemetery records

Find a cemetery or grave by place, family name, plot reference, or recently viewed record.

Understand the grounds

See entrances, mapped areas, suggested grave groups and useful cemetery context before you arrive.

Follow a calm route

Get from the entrance to the plot with a focused map view that avoids unnecessary clutter.

QR Guidance

Scan at the cemetery entrance, then follow your location to the grave.

GraveGuide can place QR codes at cemetery entrances. A visitor scans the code, confirms their location, searches the grave record and gets a focused route from where they are standing.

QREntrance-specific starting pointThe code opens the correct cemetery page and starts the route from the right entrance.

GPSUses the visitor's live locationThe map can show where the visitor is inside the grounds while guiding them toward the plot.

GOSimple route to the graveThe phone view stays focused on the route, grave details and nearby cemetery context.
