I just signed up for an online trial with Crypt Keeper, thus far I am thoroughly impressed with the value. I was going to develop a spreadsheet to use with a GIS Map. The use is for a small rural township cemetery. This software appears it may fit the bill far better than what it would take for me to reinvent the wheel so to speak. Thank you Brian98 for sharing this information, I am really glad I checked it out.

    Thank you for the information.  I am managing a small cemetery of 180.   I need a way to create a realistic map for people to use to locate their loved ones, and to take reservations for those that want to be interred there.   I need to draw a graphical design denoting existing graves, "reservations", curbs, trees, etc.    We have no budget.   Everything is done by volunteers.   Plus I want to share my knowledge for other people managing small cemeteries.   Thanks for any help.    - Brenda

      I am also managaing a small cemetery and was wondering if you found anything useful to create the cemetery and people interred in the cemetery.

       

      Thanks
