Combines records, mapping, cremation cases, funeral CRM, and archive digitization in one system, along with a grave care service cemeteries can resell for ongoing income.
AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Tendmory, a unified management solution for cemeteries, funeral homes, and crematories, is now accessible to operators throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The offering integrates cemetery records and mapping, funeral home and crematory case management, and a funeral CRM into a single platform, supported by a service that converts an operator’s existing paper archives to digital format — and a grave maintenance service the operator can offer to families, earning a portion of the revenue.
Currently, most operators rely on separate tools for these functions — or on none at all: burial entries in paper ledgers and index cards, plot layouts hand-sketched on paper, cases monitored on a whiteboard, and family queries stored in a single employee’s email. When a record gets lost or a veteran staff member leaves, that institutional memory disappears. Smaller, municipal, and volunteer-managed cemeteries have largely been excluded from the alternative: established systems in this sector are sold at enterprise-level costs with additional implementation fees.
Tendmory is available via a subscription priced according to the scale of the operation, starting at a level a single-site cemetery can authorize without needing a capital request. Migration and setup are part of the onboarding process, not billed as a separate project.
For cemeteries, the platform manages interment history, grave and plot inventory, ownership records and deed creation, and an interactive map of the property. Staff can pinpoint a grave, review its status, and see adjacent availability without visiting the site or unrolling a paper survey. Boundaries, sections, roads, and features like ponds are plotted directly onto the map and linked to the underlying records.
For funeral homes and crematories, Tendmory introduces case management tailored to the documentation each case actually demands: structured intake, completeness verification before a case proceeds, automatic form population, and electronic signatures with distinct roles for the arranger, the authorizing party, and the operator. Chain of custody is documented as a series of logged events rather than a single status field, giving operators a verifiable audit trail. The built-in funeral CRM gathers inquiries from the website, phone calls, and referral sources into one pipeline, featuring public planning pages families fill out on their own, automated follow-up, and preneed and at-need records maintained together.
Record digitization is provided as a service rather than left to the customer. Field crews photograph every headstone and record GPS coordinates for each marker, while drone surveys produce high-resolution orthomosaic images that form the base layer of the digital map. Ledgers, index cards, deeds, and burial permits are scanned and transcribed, then cross-referenced against the field data to ensure the record, the marker, and the map location match. Discrepancies — such as a burial without a marker, a marker without a record, or a plot sold twice years apart — are compiled into a report rather than silently carried forward.
The company is also launching Tendmory Care, a service that connects families with vetted local contractors for grave cleaning, restoration, and ongoing upkeep, complete with photo evidence of completed tasks. The cemetery offers it under its own name to the families it already serves and receives a cut of every order, requiring no staff time, equipment, or liability of its own. For most operators, this revenue share is designed to cover the platform subscription and then some, converting a budget expense into an income stream.
“Cemeteries are usually told that technology is a cost they have to justify,” said Yan Khachko, co-founder of Tendmory. “We wanted the opposite: a price a small cemetery can say yes to, and a service attached to it that brings money back through the door.”
Demand for that service comes largely from families who no longer live near where their relatives are buried. “Cemeteries get asked constantly whether someone can go and look after a grave, and they have never had a way to say yes,” said Yan Khachko, co-founder of Tendmory. “We built the layer that makes it possible, and the cemetery keeps both the relationship with the family and a share of the revenue.”
