Core features

Everything you need to run your cemetery digitally

Your burial grounds, mapped the way they're laid out: cemeteries hold sections, sections hold vaults, and every vault is divided into slots. Nothing lives in a paper register or a spreadsheet any more.

Cemetery & plot management

Create and manage as many cemeteries as you run. Divide each one into sections for plots, blocks or gardens, and see total, available and occupied capacity at a glance.

  • Multiple cemeteries with full addresses
  • Sections for plots, blocks and gardens
  • Live vault & slot counts per section
  • Available and occupied totals per cemetery

Vault & slot tracking

Add vaults in batches with the capacity you need, and track every slot's status (available, reserved or occupied) across your entire operation.

  • Add vaults in batches by capacity
  • Add slots to a vault later
  • Slot-level status tracking
  • Search by vault number or deceased name

Slot reservations

Let families reserve burial slots in advance. Each reservation records who it's for, their contact details and next of kin, and converts to a burial when the time comes.

  • Pre-need slot reservations
  • Reservation-to-burial conversion
  • Contact details & next of kin
  • Reservation date recorded automatically

Burial records & documents

Record every interment against its slot, linked to a deceased record from your mortuary or entered manually. Keep certificates and permits on the same record.

  • Internal and external burials
  • Burial date and date of death on record
  • Documents in PDF, Word or image formats
  • Every burial traceable to its vault and slot

Vault management

Organise cemeteries into vaults & slots

A clear hierarchy (Cemetery → Section → Vault → Slot) means you always know the exact layout and availability of your burial grounds. Each vault holds a defined number of slots, and its status follows what's happening inside it.

  • Hierarchical organisation

    Cemeteries contain sections, sections contain vaults, and vaults contain individual slots. Move through your whole operation with a clear structure.

  • Status at a glance

    Every vault shows whether it's available, reserved, allocated, partially or fully occupied, with occupied and total slots side by side.

  • Mark vaults unavailable

    Take a vault out of use for maintenance, flooding or any other reason, and the reason shows on the vault until it's back.

  • Codes & sections

    Every vault gets a unique code and belongs to a section, with notes for anything your team needs to know on site.

Reservations & burial records

Complete burial tracking, from reservation to interment

Record every burial against its slot. Link a deceased record from your mortuary or enter an external burial manually, attach permits and certificates, and keep a complete digital archive of every interment.

  • Internal & external burials

    Link burials to existing deceased records in your mortuary, or manually enter details for external burials not in your system.

  • Reservations that become burials

    Reserve a slot for someone with their contact details and next of kin, then convert the reservation to a burial when the time comes.

  • Document attachments

    Upload burial permits, death certificates and other papers (PDF, Word or image files) directly to each burial record.

Families & ownership

Know which family each vault belongs to

Assign a vault to the client responsible for it, so everyone on your team can see who to contact before a reservation or burial, without digging through a register.

  • Assign a vault to a client

    Search your existing clients by name or phone, or add a new one with their relationship, phone, email and address.

  • Contact details where you need them

    The assigned client shows on the vault itself, and the responsible client shows on each slot they're linked to.

  • Next of kin on every reservation

    Reservations keep the name, phone, address and next of kin of the person the slot is held for.

Bulk edit

  • Edit text, dates and dropdowns inline
  • Changes highlighted until you save
  • Discard everything in one click
  • Large sections paged 200 rows at a time

  • Burials link to deceased records from your mortuary
  • Jump from a burial straight to the deceased record
  • No re-typing names and dates for internal burials
  • External burials entered manually when needed
  • One login for mortuary and cemetery staff
  • Permissions per action, from viewing to recording burials

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about MortemCare's cemetery management software and how it can help your facility.

What is cemetery management software?

Cemetery management software is a digital platform that helps funeral homes, burial grounds, and memorial parks manage their cemetery operations. It covers burial plot tracking, vault management, slot reservations, interment records, agreement generation, and purchaser management — replacing manual processes with a centralized, cloud-based system.

How does MortemCare handle burial plot tracking?

MortemCare uses a hierarchical system: Cemeteries contain Vaults, and Vaults contain individual Slots. Each slot has a real-time status (available, reserved, or occupied) so you always know exactly what's open and what's taken — across all your cemeteries.

Can I reserve burial slots in advance?

Yes. MortemCare lets you reserve slots for specific individuals, complete with their name, photo, and reservation date. Reserved slots are clearly marked in the system, and you can convert reservations to burials when the time comes.

Does MortemCare integrate cemetery management with mortuary operations?

Absolutely. MortemCare is the only platform that seamlessly connects your mortuary and cemetery operations. When an internal burial is recorded, the deceased's status automatically updates from 'In Mortuary' to 'Released,' keeping your records perfectly synchronized.

Can I generate cemetery agreements and documents?

Yes. MortemCare automatically generates professional PDF agreements for vault purchases and burial activities. These agreements are pre-populated with client and business details, reducing paperwork and ensuring legal compliance.

Is MortemCare's cemetery software cloud-based?

Yes. MortemCare is fully cloud-based, meaning you can manage your cemeteries from any device with an internet connection. Data is encrypted, automatically backed up, and available 24/7 without any server maintenance.

How does MortemCare differ from standalone cemetery software?

Most cemetery software focuses only on plots and records. MortemCare uniquely combines cemetery management with full mortuary operations — deceased admission, storage tracking, invoicing, and cemetery management — in a single platform. This eliminates duplicate data entry and keeps all your operations connected, which standalone tools can't do.
