The problem
Family history is disappearing in plain sight
Millions of headstones are becoming harder to read every year. Weather, time, neglect and cemetery redevelopment can permanently erase names, dates and family connections.
For many families, a grave marker is the only remaining physical record of a relative's life. EveryStone helps preserve those records while they can still be found, photographed and mapped.

FAQ
Common questions
Is EveryStone only for genealogists?
No. It is useful for families, local historians, cemetery operators, volunteers and anyone trying to find or preserve burial records.
Can anyone add photos?
Yes, contributors can upload cemetery photos through the mobile app. Records can then be transcribed and reviewed.
Why does GPS matter?
GPS helps people find the exact grave location, not just the cemetery name. It also helps contributors see which cemetery sections still need documentation.
What if a record is wrong?
Users can suggest corrections, and records can be reviewed before changes are accepted.
Can cemeteries use it privately?
Yes, an organisation plan can support private or controlled-access records for cemetery operators and local authorities.
Do I need genealogy experience to contribute?
No. The app can guide contributors through photo capture and basic transcription, while experienced users can review and improve records.
