Genealogy researchers and family historians typically search for multiple interments across different sections and time periods during a single visit. CemSites visitor-facing search tools support this use case by providing name and date indexing across the full burial record set, so a researcher can locate multiple graves sequentially without returning to the office for each lookup. The mapping tools show the positions of all matching results, which helps the researcher plan an efficient route across the grounds.
Historical cemeteries that attract heritage visitors can use CemSites to highlight notable interments or create curated walking routes through the wayfinding platform. This extends the cemetery’s public engagement beyond routine grave visits and positions the grounds as a community resource. Cemetery administrators interested in how the wayfinding tools can support genealogy access and heritage programming can explore these features during a CemSites demonstration.
