Can mapping work be performed in an active cemetery or do we need to close?
In most cases, Sentry Mapping can perform cemetery mapping in an active cemetery while funerals and visitations occur. Our ground penetrating radar cemetery surveys are non-invasive, quiet, and require no digging. We coordinate with your staff, work section-by-section, and pause or move away from services to keep a respectful buffer.
Sentry Mapping cemetery mapping with a ground penetrating radar cemetery survey is typically compatible with an active cemetery schedule. Our certified technicians push a lightweight GPR cart across the turf and collect high-precision GPS points. The work is non-invasive, quiet, and requires no digging, so the grounds show no disturbance when we move on.
To protect families and keep traffic flowing, we plan the cemetery survey around your calendar. You tell us where services, visitations, and processions will occur and which sections must stay open. We then work section-by-section in other areas, keep a respectful buffer, and can pause or relocate quickly when needed.
After field work, you receive digital cemetery mapping deliverables including a printed master map and a searchable cemetery GIS mapping Web Mapping deliverable with no annual fee. If you want a full record system, we can also load your data into our optional cemetery management software. For timing and cost, request a Free GPR Estimate and we will build a plan around your service schedule.
