Sentry Mapping offers Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) grave detection and cemetery exploration is designed to locate unmarked graves, gain a detailed picture of burial locations, and assist in planning for future development.
Our cemetery mapping services help identify each burial site and mark the location with our innovative mapping system and design.
Careful care should be taken with locating unmarked graves and identifying each burial to ensure history is preserved. Unfortunately, due to damaged, lost, or inaccurate cemetery records, many graveyards no longer have access to detailed information regarding the exact layout of their burial plots or those that are resting in the cemetery.
Enjoy a visually appealing, verified for quality and accuracy, the map that can be displayed for visitors for decades to come. Not only will you receive a hard copy for historic preservation, but you will receive an electronic copy that can be added to your website for the community to explore from their homes.
Using Sentry Mapping’s top-of-the-line Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems we are able to design accurate maps that allow your visitors to break down the various areas of your cemetery to determine the location of a specific grave.
With an accurate cemetery map of your personal cemetery, your patrons are able to know the exact location of the grave they are searching for with little to no hassle. From paying respects to compiling genealogical research, cemetery burial plot maps provide an accessible and easily understood diagram to help both you and your visitors meet their goals.
Our highly trained field technicians complete a scan of each square foot of the area to be mapped. As the real-time Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data appears they will mark the detected graves.
This data can be difficult to read without the proper training. When the signal reflects off a marked or unmarked grave the GPR’s display shows a hyperbola or conical curve shape.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) allows us a glimpse into the subsurface makeup of your cemetery’s land, and the layout of the graves located there. Your cemetery’s GPS and GPR profile allows you to make informed choices for future planning while offering better service to the patrons visiting their loved ones.
Cemetery Mapping with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) detection is the least destructive geophysical testing method available today meaning no grave will be left disturbed.
Often, when cemeteries are initially plotted, small parcels of land are sectioned off into lots. These lots are sized and allow for a specific number of graves. As land prices rise and space becomes scarce, it becomes imperative for real estate to be used efficiently and allow for as much revenue to be made as possible.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scans with Sentry Mapping allow cemetery managers to adjust and ensure the land is used in the most economical way possible.
Sentry Mapping’s GPR technology offers a precise solution for historic cemeteries, enabling the discovery of unmarked graves without disturbing the site. Our radar surveys provide a clear view of available space and lost histories, ensuring the preservation and respectful management of every historic cemetery.
