Cemetery website templates, set up for you
You can buy a template for sixty dollars tonight and still not have a website in March.
These three arrive finished. 10 working days from the day you send your folder, and you get one page that scrolls, seven sections, your colors and your photographs in place, then the domain and the logins in your trust’s name.

A template you never have to open
Most cemetery committees who go looking for a template are trying to solve a budget problem. The template arrives as a zip file, the treasurer spends four Saturdays on it, the plugin that runs the burial records breaks, and the project stalls somewhere near the About page.
We sell the design and the labor together. Three layouts we drew for cemeteries, each one already built, tested and ready to carry your name. Our team does the setup. You send photographs and the text you want on each page, and three weeks later the site is live under your own domain.
If your grounds deserve their own photography, their own logo and pages written from scratch, that is what the Essential, Premium and All Inclusive packages are for. This page is the shorter route.

Botanical · Hand drawn · Uncluttered
Meadow
Line drawn foliage runs along the edges of the page the way the hedgerow runs along the edge of a country burial ground. Soft greens on warm paper, one italic word carrying each headline, and photographs of the grounds given room to breathe.
Acreage, founding year and the number of native species sit in a green band under the hero, so a family sees what kind of place this is before they read a word. Burial options appear on three cards with the price in the open, which is the first thing anyone asks. The seasons block near the foot of the page gives your volunteers something easy to keep current through the year.
Suits Natural burial grounds, woodland cemeteries, small rural trusts and churchyards where the land itself is the reason families choose you..
VICTORIAN, INK AND GOLD, ARCHIVAL
Rosewood
A photograph of the main walk fills the whole first screen, with the cemetery name set large in an old serif over it and a line of script underneath. Dark walnut, aged gold and cream. The kind of page a burial ground consecrated in the 1860s has earned.
Prices sit on three cards over a darkened photograph, which keeps the commercial part of the page quiet without hiding it. The keepers, the visitor notes and the grounds rules each get their own short column, and the family testimonial is presented as a photographic print with a handwritten caption. This is the design that makes a genealogist stay and read.
Suits Historic burial grounds, war graves, cemeteries founded before 1900, and any office that fields family history requests most weeks.

MODERN, PREMIUM, PHOTOGRAPHY LED
Granite
A photograph of the main walk holds the first screen, with the acreage, the founding year and the starting price on cards along the bottom of it. Rounded corners, a warm sand accent and a lot of deep green. It looks like a place that is running well.
The burial options section leads with one highlighted card showing plots remaining, which turns a price list into a decision. What you take care of is laid out as four short cards over a photograph, the enquiry form sits beside your address and phone number, and the map runs the full width at the foot of the page. Pre need plans and sections read as considered choices rather than a tariff.
Suits Memorial parks, crematoria, larger municipal cemeteries, and boards that want the website to look like a going concern.

What we build into every site
What goes on the page
Your grounds
The name, the town, a photograph that shows what the place actually looks like, and the one line that tells a visitor they are in the right cemetery.
The team
The people who look after the grounds and answer the phone, with a photograph and a first name each. Families find it easier to call when they know who will pick up.
Services and fees
Burials, cremation, interments, memorials and pre-need plots, with the numbers families call to ask for.
The gallery
Up to fifteen photographs of the gates, the chapel, the paths and the memorials, laid out so they are worth looking at.
Our story
Founding date, notable burials, the part the grounds played in the town. Genealogists link to sections like this one, which helps you rank.
Visiting
Hours, gate access, parking, rules on flowers and headstones, and what to do about a grave that needs attention.
Contact
A form, a map, your office hours and the name of the person who answers. Half the questions get answered before anyone hits send.
Extra pages
A searchable register of burials and a plot map, so a family who last visited twenty years ago can find a grandfather in two clicks. Available with Chronicle.
Questions trustees ask us before signing.
If you do not see your question answered here, ask us directly on a free 15-minute consultation call.
A downloaded template is a file. This is a finished website. We install the design, set your colors and typefaces, place your photographs, load your pages, test it on phones and hand you a live site under your own domain. Your treasurer never opens a theme editor.
Yes, and we expect to. The three previews on this page show a mood rather than a fixed outcome. Colors, typefaces, photographs, page names and section order all move to fit your cemetery. What stays is the underlying layout.
One, and it is a long one. Seven sections on a single scrolling page, with a fixed menu that jumps between them. Small cemeteries answer almost every question a family has in that space, and one page is far easier for two volunteers to keep current than six. If you need a separate page for records or history, each extra page is $120, up to two.
Ten working days from the day your folder arrives. That assumes your committee can approve wording inside the window, which is where almost every delay comes from. If a trustee is away for a fortnight, tell us on the call and we will hold the slot.
All of it. The domain, the design files, the content and the admin login go into your name at launch. There is no monthly fee and no license to renew. If Studio September disappeared tomorrow your website would keep running.
Yes, through Chronicle and some other cemetery website management software. Records, plot availability and maps update on the website as your office updates them in the software.
Yes. Cemeteries often start here and commission a custom build two or three years later once the trust has more budget. Your content, domain and records carry across, so nothing you pay for now is wasted.
The cemetery website checklist: 15 pages
Ten years of cemetery projects, condensed into one checklist. Records, photographs, budget, ownership, the questions to ask before you sign.
