Cemeteries are valuable historic resources that offer insight into a community’s unique population. They also serve as memorials that comfort people as they process the loss of loved ones.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, cemeteries are threatened by encroaching development, the effects of extreme weather, and even a lack of usable space. When they fall into disuse or are neglected, they can be problematic for their communities.\u200b Improving cemetery management is key to addressing these issues, but a local government cannot effectively manage these community assets unless it knows how many gravesites each cemetery has, who owns each gravesite, and who, if anyone, is buried there.<\/p>\n

The Cemetery Management Solution<\/a> helps local governments and private cemetery organizations alike to inventory cemeteries and gravesites, monitor cemetery operations, and increase transparency and public interest.<\/p>\n

Streamline cemetery and gravesite inventory<\/h2>\n

The Cemetery Data Management ArcGIS Pro project can be used by GIS mapping technicians to develop a cemetery and gravesite inventory from record information. A series of tasks help you create or load cemetery data, and associate related burial and ownership information to each gravesite.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1892652,"id":1892652,"title":"CemeteryProProject","filename":"CemeteryProProject.png","filesize":2076306,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-solutions\/local-government\/cemetery-management-solution-released\/cemeteryproproject","alt":"Cemetery Data Management ArcGIS Pro Project","author":"134131","description":"","caption":"The Cemetery Data Management Pro Project is used by mapping technicians to develop a cemetery and gravesite inventory.","name":"cemeteryproproject","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1866852,"date":"2023-03-31 19:01:58","modified":"2023-03-31 19:03:02","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2586,"height":1861,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject.png","medium-width":363,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":553,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject.png","large-width":1501,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject-1536x1105.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1105,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject-2048x1474.png","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1474,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject-646x465.png","card_image-width":646,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CemeteryProProject-1501x1080.png","wide_image-width":1501,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
