Cemetery Mapping Service: Preserving History with Precision.
Cemeteries are not only places of remembrance but also vital historical records that deserve meticulous care and preservation. At the Centre for Missing Persons, we offer comprehensive cemetery mapping services that combine cutting-edge technology with a deep respect for cultural and historical significance. Our goal is to provide accurate, detailed maps that help manage, preserve, and protect these important sites.
Our Mapping Process:
1. Non-Invasive Geophysical Surveys:
We begin with non-invasive geophysical surveys, including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), resistivity, and other complementary techniques. These methods allow us to identify unmarked graves, subsurface features, and anomalies without disturbing the ground.
2. Geolocation and GPS Integration:
Using advanced GPS technology, we precisely map each feature within the cemetery. This data is crucial for accurate record-keeping, site management, and future preservation efforts.
3. 3D Modeling and Visualization:
Our team creates detailed 3D models that provide a visual representation of the cemetery’s layout, including all marked and unmarked graves, pathways, and significant features. These models are invaluable for site planning, historical research, and enhancing visitor experiences.
4. Historical Documentation:
Where available, we integrate historical records, such as burial registries, with our mapping data. This helps create a comprehensive and accessible digital archive for future generations.
5. Custom Mapping Solutions:
We understand that each cemetery is unique. Our services are fully customizable to meet the specific needs of your site, whether it’s a small family plot or a large historical cemetery.
