A Clearer View of Your Cemetery: Satellite Imagery vs. Drone Mapping
Compare the difference in resolution and detail at a glance.
Experience Unparalleled Detail and Clarity
One of the biggest advantages of drone mapping over traditional satellite imagery is the significantly higher resolution. By capturing high-definition aerial photos at a lower altitude, our drones reveal fine details—such as individual headstones, paths, and landscaping features—that are often lost in standard satellite images. This increased clarity gives you greater accuracy for planning, record-keeping, and helping visitors navigate the cemetery with confidence.
Best of all, the data we collect can be delivered through the Chronicle Viewer, an advanced GIS platform that keeps cemetery information at your fingertips—no advanced tech skills required.
In the Chronicle Viewer, you can:
It’s a true one-stop solution for digitizing paper records, merging historical data, and ensuring your cemetery stays current for years to come.
After that period, you can continue using Chronicle Viewer for a small monthly fee—just $10 per month for every 2,000 plots. We offer pay-as-you-go services ($75/hour) for occasional updates and one-time fees for special data integrations.
One of our main goals is to save you time and make daily tasks easier. With our Cemetery Mapping Software, you can look forward to:
Easily provide directions and details about a loved one’s resting place.
Forget about searching through messy paper files; everything is now in one convenient digital location.
Know exactly which plots are sold, reserved, or available before making promises to families.
Keep a lasting digital archive that future generations can rely on.
Our solution is designed to be flexible—perfect for:

Preserving heritage at a 150-year-old cemetery.
Problem:
A 150+ year-old historic cemetery faced a significant challenge: it had no records or maps of its burial sites. This lack of documentation left the caretakers unsure about the availability of space for new burials, raising concerns about the preservation of the cemetery’s heritage and the respect due to those interred.
Solution:
Sentry Mapping Services stepped in with a comprehensive approach to solve the cemetery’s challenges. Utilizing advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology, the team meticulously scanned the entire area to locate unmarked graves. This thorough investigation was followed by the creation of a detailed map that not only marked every known burial but also included names, birth and death dates, creating a rich tapestry of the cemetery’s history. To complement this, Sentry Mapping provided a clickable and searchable web map, making navigation and management effortless for the caretakers—all at no additional cost.
Result:
Thanks to Sentry Mapping’s expertise, the cemetery now has a clear understanding of its layout and capacity for future burials. This newfound knowledge ensures that every inch of sacred ground is used respectfully and efficiently, honoring the memory of those at rest. Moreover, the digital tools provided have secured the cemetery’s heritage for future generations, making it easier for families and historians to connect with their past. The once uncertain terrain of the cemetery is now a carefully mapped and cherished space, its legacy preserved and its management streamlined.
