Order for the administrator
The map, documents and grave data sit in one system, ready for everyday work.
Cemetery surveys
From fieldwork to a complete cemetery map
We organise everything known about a cemetery and turn scattered records into one clear, current system. We combine data from headstones, cemetery registers and the administrator’s documentation.
- a precise map divided into sections, rows and graves,
- a database of burials built from fieldwork and documents,
- grave photos and the option of regular updates.
Process
How the burial database is built
Four orderly stages lead from an on-site inspection to data available in the search engine.
-
Cemetery map
We produce a precise map with a clear division into sections, rows and grave numbers. We also mark paths, fencing, trees, buildings and other important features.
-
Headstone records
We record burial details straight from the headstones. Every plot can be given current photographic documentation.
-
Cemetery documents
We cross-check and complete the data against the burial registers, grave registers and the documentation held by the administration.
-
Publication in the search engine
The administrator manages the organised database in the IAC system. Data intended for publication can reach the nationwide Grobonet.com search engine.

Expand a section. We match the work to the size of the cemetery and the state of its documentation.
Fieldwork survey Map, graves, photos and cemetery features
- a detailed cemetery map,
- division of the grounds into sections, rows and grave numbers,
- photos of graves and headstones attached to the system,
- burial details recorded from the headstones,
- marking of paths, trees, wells, fencing, buildings and car parks.
Documentation survey Registers, grave types, fees and holders
- data from the burial registers and grave registers,
- invoices and other administrative documents,
- grave type: earth, brick, deep or tomb,
- expiry date of the grave fee,
- details of the grave holder together with a contact address.
Public and administrative information stay separate. Holder details, fees and documents remain in the secured system of the cemetery administrator. Grobonet.com shows only the data meant for publicly locating a resting place.
Result
One database, real benefits
A simple path for visitors
Families can find the person, the grave location and the information released by the cemetery.
A database ready for updates
New burials and photos can be added regularly without rebuilding the system from scratch.
Database updates
A survey is a beginning, not a one-off census
We add newly buried people and current photographic documentation to the map and the IAC database. The schedule is agreed individually, to suit the cemetery.
- Every 3 monthsquarterly update
- Every 6 monthshalf-yearly update
- Once a yearannual update
