Over the year’s cemetery maps become inaccurate depictions of the true cemetery layout and a site survey is needed to evaluate those changes and produce detailed drawings that are true depictions of the cemetery property.
We start our site survey with a walkthrough of the cemetery property using GPS navigation and checking measurements of walkways, tree lines, roadways, building, gates and other identifying features to include the location of park benches, water lines, drainage systems and fencing that will be used as visual landmarks on your maps.
Once your survey is completed, we take all pertinent information and create a plan view (overview) map of your cemetery. This is followed by a series of detailed maps, which break down your cemetery section by section to include the addition of lot numbers, grave numbers and the names of lot owners/interments if required.
A number of different methods are used to aid us in obtaining map accuracy, including combining GPS navigation with satellite imaging and laser distance measuring to determine the length, width and areas of burial parcels and other features.
In addition, we put together a media study of your cemetery that includes videos and 360-degree virtual tours of each section. The media files aid us in mapping and reviewing questionable areas and terrain.
The two images you see below are examples of combining satellite images with Vector Graphic Mapping™.
