This is a simple utility to keep track of, and optionally map out, your cemetery records.
Most of the cemeteries I have worked with have nothing more than a very old thick book that they continue to write new entries into. If anything were to happen to that book all the records would be lost forever. Now is the time to computerize that information before it is lost forever.
To download the software, click on the DOWNLOAD menu option at the top of this page.

The software (in trial mode) allows for up to 30-days of testing or 100 records to be inputted.
After registration, the limitation is lifted and an unlimited number of entries may be inputted. The optional color-coded cemetery map can be used by plotting out your cemetery into the grid-like map by assigning the Section/Lot/Grave to grid locations. Sample screenshots are provided at the bottom of this page. Basic reports are available. Please feel free to try the software at no cost (for 30-days or the first 100 records).
The software comes complete with everything you need. However, in order to make the software compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or the new Windows 7, you may need to download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework and the Adobe Acrobat Reader. More information on this can be found under the DOWNLOAD menu at the top of this page.
The maps look like a simple grid, or spreadsheet. You start out with a blank slate of columns and rows (which you can add or subtract). You create the map by assigning plot locations to cells on the grid. This then communicates with your database to color-code the map according to the status of the owner/resident of the plot. Feel free to try to create your own map. There is help to assist you with this within the application by clicking on the HELP menu at the top of the screens.
The application will work with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or the new Windows 7.
The built-in import utility is designed to easily allow you to import your existing electronic data into the Crypt Keeper database. Please review the help file for assistance in performing the import. You can also export the data into a variety of output formats including CSV files, TXT files and MDB files.
The only cost to register the software is a one-time $49.95 registration fee. However, if you require a CD to be mailed to you, an additional $15.00 would be necessary.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, but you may want to look at the Q&A (menu option at top of page) first. Many of the questions I have received are answered there.
