Installed headstones deteriorate over time. Settling causes stones to lean. Freeze-thaw cycles crack granite. Inscriptions become difficult to read. A cemetery that tracks headstone condition can schedule preventive maintenance, prioritize repairs, and document the work performed. CemSites cemetery headstone tracking software includes condition fields on the installed headstone record, allowing grounds staff to log observations during routine inspections.
The maintenance history attached to each headstone record shows what work has been done and when. When a family inquires about the condition of a headstone they purchased decades ago, the cemetery can pull the record and show the inspection and maintenance history. CemSites turns headstone stewardship from an informal process into a documented one.
