Detecting unmarked graves with the use of GPR is cost effective and non-intrusive way to locate lost graves.

Detecting unmarked graves has become an urgent matter as, in many areas, cemeteries and graveyards have become full and the need for the new burial plots has arisen.

Although cemeteries and crematoriums hold the records of all the burial locations in a form of a plot maps and logbooks or record journals, quite often they are inaccurate for the older parts of the graveyards.  The inaccuracy of those records comes from a fact that, up until recently, they were kept in a form of handwritten notes and maps, which makes them unreliable; also, many of them are reported lost or damaged. Visual assessment of the cemeteries is not very sound method either since many graves at historical graveyards have missing headstones.

GPR survey for detecting unmarked graves will produce a detail plot map depicting locations of all detected graves leaving scanned ground undisturbed.
