Cemetery Digital Website & Management Platform

Cemetery Digital gives cemetery districts a public website, document publishing tools,
agenda and minutes support, public records request intake, accessibility-minded layouts,
plot and burial directory tools, and district management features in one subscription platform.

Public Records Request Form

  • Built-in public records request page for residents, families, and community members.
  • Residents can submit records requests directly through the cemetery district website.
  • Requests are tied to the tenant district instead of being lost in general email.
  • Supports a more professional intake process for transparency and public information requests.
  • Helps districts provide an easier path for public access to records and district information.
  • Can be included in the public navigation menu alongside About, Agendas, Notices, Burial Directory, and Contact.

ADA & Accessibility Support

  • Accessible public-facing layouts with semantic headings, sections, and navigation patterns.
  • Keyboard-friendly document tabs using tablist, tab, and tabpanel semantics.
  • Visible focus states for tabs, links, buttons, and navigation controls.
  • Theme contrast detection adjusts text color for light or dark theme colors.
  • Hero overlay controls support readable text on image banners.
  • Generated agenda/minutes PDFs use a PDF/UA-oriented tagged PDF pipeline where supported.
  • Accessible HTML agenda/minutes views remain available as the strongest accessibility fallback.

Plot & Burial Directory

  • Manage cemetery plot and burial records from the district admin dashboard.
  • Search and filter burial records by name, plot, section, block, lot, grave, or related record details.
  • Provide a public-facing Burial Directory so families can search available published records.
  • Open selected burial records in an accessible same-page detail view with a close button.
  • Import and export plot records by CSV to speed up cemetery data management.
  • Turn the public Burial Directory on or off when a website does not need that feature.
  • Keep burial and plot records tenant-specific so each cemetery district manages only its own data.

Website & Page Builder

  • Create and edit custom cemetery district pages without developer support.
  • Separate published-page list and page builder workflow.
  • Add featured images and remove them when no longer needed.
  • Add page galleries or public image sliders with fade transitions.
  • Attach documents directly to pages for public viewing and download.

Document Publishing

  • Upload multiple documents to a page before saving.
  • Group documents into named categories.
  • Display document groups as public tabs on the website.
  • Allow visitors to view or download public documents.
  • Manage document labels, groups, sort order, and deletion from admin.

Agendas & Minutes

  • Create public agenda and minutes records from the admin dashboard.
  • Use templates or AI-assisted generation to speed up drafting.
  • Use contact information from Website Settings in generated documents.
  • Upload existing agenda or minutes files when needed.
  • Publish agenda/minutes archives with year-based organization.
  • Provide accessible HTML views plus generated PDF downloads.

Navigation & Website Settings

  • Single menu manager for built-in pages and published custom pages.
  • Turn menu items on or off, including the Burial Directory when not needed.
  • Reorder menu items with move controls and drag-style editing.
  • Create dropdown navigation using built-in pages or custom pages as parent items.
  • Manage hero images, logo, theme colors, contact info, payments, hours, and privacy content.

Payments & Contact

  • Add a Pay Now link when the cemetery district uses an external payment portal.
  • Show payment buttons only when a payment link exists.
  • Reuse Website Settings contact details across public pages and generated content.
  • Keep Contact, Records Request, Agendas, Notices, Transparency, and Burial Directory content organized in one public site.

Subscription Value

  • Designed for cemetery districts that need a professional website without managing a custom development project.
  • Supports ongoing transparency, records access, agendas, notices, documents, burial records, and public information publishing.
  • Helps reduce staff time by centralizing website updates, public records intake, plot records, and document publishing.
  • Provides modern cemetery district website features in a subscription-based platform instead of a one-off static website.
