Cemetery Surveying, Mapping, and Records

Every grave mapped. Every record preserved.

We survey your grounds, map every plot, and turn decades of paper into one clear, searchable record of who is buried where. Find any grave in seconds, keep your history safe, and give families peace of mind.

Surveyed and supported by WOOD Inspection Services. Serving Texas communities.

Surveyed on site

Each headstone is located in the field with high-precision GPS, not estimated from a desk.

Backed up nightly

Every name and photo kept safe, off site and versioned.

Open on any device

Works on the office desktop, a tablet, or a phone at the gate.

Supported by people

A Texas team you can reach, not a call center, not a robot.

The service

From the first survey to living records.

Legacy Map is more than software. Our Texas field crew surveys your grounds, locates what time has hidden, and turns decades of paper into one accurate digital record you can actually use.

Ground-penetrating radar

We locate unmarked and lost graves with professional GPR survey equipment, so no plot goes unaccounted for.

Headstone transcription

Every legible marker is read and recorded, preserving names, dates, and epitaphs before weather takes them.

Precise positions

Every headstone we can find is located on site with high-precision GPS, then plotted on aerial imagery of your grounds used as a reference backdrop.

Records digitization

Decades of paper cards and ledgers become one clean, searchable database, safe from fire, flood, and time.

Inventory and availability

Know exactly which plots are occupied, reserved, or open for sale, so you never sell the same space twice.

The software

It all lives in the Legacy Map platform, updated by your own staff from any device, any time.

How it works

Four steps from paper to a living map.

We handle the heavy lifting up front, then hand you a system your team can run on its own.

1

We survey

Our crew maps every plot with GPS and finds the unmarked graves using ground-penetrating radar.

2

We digitize

Your paper records and headstone data become one clean, searchable database tied to the map.

3

You manage

Add burials, record sales, and update notes yourself from the office or out on the grounds.

4

Families find

A public map lets the community look up loved ones and directions, respectfully and on their own.

Who it serves

Built for everyone who cares for the ground.

A hundred graves or a hundred acres, the work is the same. Keep the record right, and keep it easy to find.

“Wood Inspection Services recently completed a survey of 2 sections of our cemetery. He made sure I understood what I was looking at and how to use the information. He did locate 29 unmarked graves, they are now marked, and we can update our records. Would definitely recommend this to any cemetery that needs to confirm unknown areas of their own cemetery.”

Back to overview The platform

The software your team runs every day.

Once your grounds are surveyed and your records are in, this is where the work happens. One map, every record, open on any device. Here is a closer look at each part.

The map

Your whole cemetery, on one screen.

A clear, color coded map of every section, block, and grave, laid over aerial imagery of your grounds. Pan to any area, select a plot, and see exactly who rests there.

  • Status colors show availability at a glance
  • Search a name and fly straight to the grave
  • Draw a new plot and it is numbered and recorded
The dashboard

The whole cemetery, at a glance.

Total plots, what is available, what is occupied, veterans laid to rest, and recent activity. The numbers your board asks for are on the first screen, ready to export.

  • Occupancy and availability, always current
  • Veterans and reserved plots tracked separately
  • Export a report for the board in one click
The records

A full record behind every plot.

Names, dates, veterans, monuments, and headstone photos, all kept with the grave they belong to. When a family calls, you have the answer in front of you before you reach the window.

  • Photos attached to the grave, not a shoebox
  • Veteran service and monument details on file
  • A full history of every change ever made
For families

A map families can open themselves.

Add a public, searchable map to your own website. There is no account and no sign in. Families find a loved one from home, on any phone, and arrive knowing exactly where to walk.
