CEMETERY GROUNDS VALIDATION
Locate original and unmarked burial grounds with confidence.
Can’t find your ‘lost’ Potter’s Field, or didn’t know you had one? We can assist in locating original, unmarked, burial grounds in small and large cemeteries.
What we do
Potter’s Field identification
Help locate “lost” or undocumented Potter’s Fields and other original burial areas that may not be visible on the modern landscape.
Unmarked burial ground assessment
Assess small and large cemeteries for unmarked burial areas to support stewardship, planning, and informed decision-making.
Boundary and extent validation
Identify likely extents of burial grounds so stakeholders can manage access, maintenance, and future development responsibly.
Clear deliverables
Provide maps and documentation that help you communicate findings and keep institutional knowledge from being lost over time.
