Using RE or RENXT to map cemetery plots

Tami Hormell

We are a large synagogue in Dallas, TX that also has a cemetery. We can see cemetery plot purchases in Gifts to track the ownership and after someone has been buried, we track the location in the deceased record's attributes. We need to be able to pull up a map of the cemetery and see the ownership and who is buried from a map view. Has anyone else run in to this or know of a secondary cemetery mapping software that we can use to integrate with our current RE data?

We did this for some of our buildings with naming opportunities a while ago.  We stopped doing it, but at the time we used a purchased software service called GiftMap (one word name).  it allows you to map buildings, areas, whatever you want, and tie them to certain gifts or records.  


The company itself sets up the custom maps, but then you can go in and tag each area however you want it.  It would probably work fairly well for what you're thinking of, but I don't know all your exact needs.  Good luck!
