How to document a grave

Help preserve history in under a minute. Free, no account, works from any smartphone.

Photograph the headstone

Stand square to the stone and fill the frame. Name and dates are optional — our system can read them from the photo.

Location is captured automatically

Your phone's GPS places the record in the right cemetery and plot area. Scanning a cemetery QR code adds even more context.

Reviewed and published

Submissions are screened automatically and may be reviewed by moderators. Accepted records become permanently searchable.

Families can find it forever

Genealogists and loved ones search by name on CemeteryLedger and land on the grave page with photos and map links.
