This version requires Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher. You may be prompted that you need to download this feature before you can install this version. You can download this component directly from Microsoft by clicking here. Or you can visit the Microsoft Update site by clicking on the Tools menu of your browser and choosing Windows Update.

Please note, if you are an existing user of this software and are using a version prior to version 7.0 you will be required to RE-REGISTER in order to use the software. Please contact me for additional information.

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 move that information to media that can be backed-up and saved in multiple places in case of accidental data loss.

The software (in trial mode) allows for up to 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 the first 100 records).

The software comes complete with everything you need. However, in order to make the software compatible with Windows XP and Vista, you may need to download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework (as mentioned above in paragraph two). This is an enhancement to your Windows operating system and regardless of whether you choose this application or not, you should install this important update. If you are running Windows Vista, you already have this installed.

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 Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. Earlier versions of Windows cannot be guaranteed to be compatible.

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.

New Features available in this version:
  • Networking / Multiple-User Support. Now you can share a common folder among many computers on your network so that updating data can be done more easily.
  • Custom Data Fields. Re-configure up to five of the existing data elements in the database for your own purposes.
  • Multiple Interred. Now you may assign a duplicate section/lot/grave number among more than one interred.
  • Images. You may now assign an image file to your cemetery records.
  • Enhanced Reporting. The custom reporting feature (historically a separate module that required separate payment) is now incorporated into the main application.
  • Enhanced Exporting. You may now export the database to a Microsoft Access Database so that you can write your own custom reports.
  • Enhanced Importing. The import function has been improved.
