Providing GPS coordinates for a grave location allows visitors to navigate using the mapping tools already on their smartphone without needing to print directions or interpret a cemetery section map. When a cemetery's grave finder tool returns a GPS coordinate alongside the lot information, a visitor can tap to open navigation directly and walk to the correct location on a property they may never have visited before.
CemSites grave location software is designed to return coordinates in a format that standard mapping applications can use, so that the navigation experience is accessible for visitors of all technical comfort levels. Cemeteries that offer GPS linked grave navigation reduce the number of phone calls and in person office visits from family members who would otherwise need staff guidance to find a gravesite.
