Use the smartphone app to capture an image of a grave stone or grave marker.
Using GPS technology, our app captures the GPS location of the grave and determines the cemetery it is located in.
Our backend services extract information from the image of the grave marker and store it.
The cemetery data that is captured is fully searchable.
Cemeteries are facinating places that have hidden stories to tell. Estimates show that nearly 25% of the information on grave markers in cemeteries does not exist anywhere else.
It is easy to contribute to the Long Forgotten™ catalog. Simply install the smartphone app on your GPS enabled smartphone and snap pictures of gravestones.
Exploring and capturing information in a cemetery could lead to discoveries of people and facts long forgotten!
Whether you are someone who is doing research on your family tree, writing a book, or trying to solve a mystery, Long Forgotten™ can help.
Our search services are very flexible and powerful to enable you to research information using names, dates, or locations.
As someone who is responsible for managing and documenting cemetery assets, Long Forgotten™ is the perfect platform for easily capturing and presenting information about the cemetery.
Long Forgotten™ not only captures names and dates, but it also captures GPS locations enabling the platform to direct a researcher to the precise location of the grave marker.
Future releases will provide an API for other systems to integrate to the data that Long Forgotten™ is constantly accumulating with the help of all of its' contributors.
