Volunteer-built
Every photograph, transcription and GPS pin is contributed by people who care about a specific cemetery — locals, historians, descendants.
Public and free
Anyone can search the archive. Signing up opens full-size photos and exact grave locations, with no paywall and a fair daily limit.
Self-funded
Advertising, affiliate programs and grave care services keep the project running and a paid membership may come later.
Family history is disappearing
Millions of headstones become harder to read every year. Weather, time, neglect and changes to cemeteries can erase names, dates and family connections forever.
For many families, a headstone is the only physical record left of a relative's life, especially where church records were lost during the 20th century. Taking photos and marking each grave's exact location while the words are still readable helps save this information. EveryStone brings this work together, turning people's photos and grave locations into records that anyone can search and use.
How we keep records accurate
Exact locations
Every grave is pinned at a GPS point. For uploads, we use the location your phone saved with the photo.
Checked photos
Photos stay private until checked. AI confirms each shows a grave marker. Our team reviews unclear ones.
Verified records
Verified graves were read twice, by a human and by AI. Both readings match the headstone photo.
