In today's fast-paced, tech-enabled world, families are looking for more convenient and reliable ways to stay connected to their loved ones' resting places. At Gravesite Cleanup, we understand that locating a grave isn't always easy, especially for families who live far away or have lost track of an older plot. That's why we've introduced our GPS Grave Mapping Service — a modern solution that brings accuracy, peace of mind, and accessibility to cemetery visits.
Whether you're trying to find a loved one's grave for the first time, keeping family records updated, or simply want to share the location with future generations, our GPS service is a powerful tool designed with your needs in mind. In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how the process works, why it's different from other grave locating methods, and how it benefits both local and long-distance families.
What Is GPS Grave Mapping?
Our GPS Grave Mapping Service involves professionally locating, verifying, and digitally marking a gravesite using exact latitude and longitude coordinates. We then provide this location in the form of a Google Maps link, making it easy to navigate to the site on any smartphone or computer.
Along with the coordinates, you also receive:
-
A clear, high-resolution photo of the grave and surrounding area
-
An optional custom label or name tag for future reference
-
A sharable Google Maps link for friends and family
This creates a permanent, easy-to-access digital record that can be viewed and shared anytime.
Why It Matters: Common Challenges in Locating Graves
Many families struggle to find gravesites for various reasons:
-
Outdated or missing cemetery records
-
No physical markers on the site
-
Overgrown or hard-to-navigate plots
-
Large cemeteries with complex layouts
-
Family members living in other states
Traditional methods like calling the cemetery or searching old records can be slow, inaccurate, or even fruitless. Our GPS service removes the guesswork entirely.
How Our GPS Pin Drop & Mapping Service Works
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect when you book our GPS grave mapping service:
Step 1: You Provide Basic Info
We ask for whatever information you have — name of the deceased, cemetery name (if known), and any plot or section number. Don’t worry if you don’t have it all. Our team can work with partial data to locate the site.
Step 2: We Locate the Site On-Site
Our trained staff will visit the cemetery and physically locate the grave. We use:
-
Cemetery records (if available)
-
Physical search methods
-
Local knowledge of Middle Tennessee cemeteries
Step 3: We Record GPS Coordinates
Once the plot is located, we use professional-grade GPS tools to:
-
Capture exact latitude and longitude
-
Ensure accuracy within a few feet
-
Save the coordinates in a secure record
Step 4: We Take Photos
We photograph the headstone and surrounding area, ensuring that future visits are easy and visually confirmed.
Step 5: You Receive Your Package
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive an email with:
-
A clickable Google Maps link showing the exact grave location
-
Photos of the grave and surroundings
-
A brief summary confirming the visit
-
Optional tag or label for future family reference
You can share this with family or store it for safekeeping.

Long-distance families who can’t visit in person
-
Genealogy researchers tracking down ancestor plots
-
Military families with loved ones buried in large cemeteries
-
Older adults wanting to pass the location to younger generations

Anyone who’s unsure where the grave is located
