Frequently asked questions about Mapping

The need to replace old or incomplete maps is often the reason organisations get in touch. We are experienced in working with all sorts of plans and can assess the condition of your map and will discuss any challenges with you prior to quoting.

Pear Technology are not surveyors or architects and cannot plan or design cemeteries, though we’d be happy to recommend companies we have successfully worked with in the past who are able to provide these services. We can use aerial imagery as well as your knowledge to create the first draft. However, without existing maps we recommend you allow plenty of time to visit your cemetery site and check the drafts as our maps will rely on the information you provide.

You do not need to have any of your burial records digitised prior to investing in a cemetery mapping package. Burial records can be kept in an Excel spreadsheet, a cemetery database or burial administration system such as Epitaph (Edge IT Systems), Rialtas Cemeteries Management and BACAS software, IEG4 (Clear Skies).

The Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) entitles certain public sector organisations to free Ordnance Survey map data which our cemetery maps are based on.
