What it is
PlotBox is a cloud-based management platform for cemeteries, crematories and funeral homes, with tools for records, scheduling, family access and finances.

The financial suite handles invoicing, payments, receipts and trust funds, and PlotBox says it can connect with services such as QuickBooks and C&J Financial.
The software is modular, with Essential, Pro and Enterprise packages. All include core records, contracts, booking, mapping and EverAfter tools; Enterprise adds finance and customized reporting. Work orders, CRM and documents are included or offered as add-ons depending on the package. PlotBox is available on the web and iOS.

The review
PlotBox is a cloud-based management platform for cemeteries, crematories and funeral homes. It is best suited to organizations that need to connect operational records with family access and financial workflows. Its broad, modular scope is the draw; custom pricing and organization-dependent implementation are the main trade-offs.
Overview
PlotBox brings deceased records, plot inventory, mapping, scheduling and financial management into one system. Organizations can start with selected modules and add capabilities as needs change, a practical approach for operators whose requirements evolve. That flexibility still requires decisions about which modules to adopt and preparation for implementation, whose timing depends on the organization and the complexity of its data.
The platform coordinates burials, cremations and appointments across multiple sites. That breadth is most useful to deathcare operators managing connected workflows and locations, rather than a provider seeking a single-purpose tool.
Key features
Records, mapping and scheduling
A searchable deceased-record database, plot inventory management and digital cemetery mapping connect records to cemetery locations. Scheduling covers burials, cremations and appointments across sites, giving multi-location teams a shared operational scope. For a single-site organization, the same breadth may be more than it needs.
Family access and finance
EverAfter lets families search cemetery records, plan visits using walk-to-grave directions and explore memorials online. This extends PlotBox beyond staff workflows, making it a stronger fit for organizations that want public-facing cemetery access alongside internal management. Its finance suite handles invoicing, payments, receipts and trust funds, while integrations include QuickBooks and C&J Financial.
Security and support
PlotBox’s information security management system is registered to ISO 27001:2022 through March 23, 2028. Prospective customers can request a demo and discuss needs with the company. Implementation timing varies with organizational and data complexity, so buyers should account for that during planning.
Pricing
PlotBox uses paid, custom pricing; the packages page directs prospective customers to contact the company rather than showing prices. The three packages share records, deeds and plot management, the EverAfter public genealogy portal, contracts, booking schedules, mapping and memorials.
- Essential: Includes the shared core; CRM and documents are available as bolt-ons. It suits buyers who need core records and scheduling without those add-ons, but does not include the work orders of Pro or the finance and customized reporting of Enterprise.
- Pro: Adds work orders to the shared core. CRM and documents remain bolt-ons, making this the middle option for organizations that need work-order management but not Enterprise’s finance and customized reporting.
- Enterprise: Adds finance, customized reporting, work orders, CRM and documents to the shared core. It is the most complete package for organizations seeking those capabilities together.
No seat counts, quotas, trial length or renewal terms are given. Contact PlotBox to discuss package pricing, module selection and implementation requirements.
Platforms
PlotBox is available on the web and iOS.
Who it's for
PlotBox is aimed at cemetery, crematory and funeral-home operators, especially those managing multiple sites or looking to bring records, scheduling and public cemetery access together. Its modular packaging can suit organizations that want to expand their system over time. Buyers seeking a narrowly focused product or a price they can evaluate upfront should consider alternatives.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Operational breadth: Records, plot inventory, mapping and multi-site scheduling sit within one deathcare platform.
- Family-facing access: EverAfter combines cemetery search, visit directions and online memorials.
- Expandable packages: Modular plans let organizations add capabilities as requirements change.
- Financial and integration options: Enterprise includes finance, and PlotBox can integrate with QuickBooks and C&J Financial.
Cons
- Custom pricing: The packages have no displayed prices, so buyers must contact the company to assess cost.
- Implementation planning: Timing depends on organizational and data complexity, which can make adoption harder to schedule.
- Important features vary by package: Work orders begin with Pro, while finance and customized reporting are Enterprise features; CRM and documents are bolt-ons in Essential and Pro.
Alternatives
Funeral Home Software is a useful place to compare products in the category.
- Passare is worth considering for funeral homes that want Android access as well as iOS and web; its annual subscription fees are based on prior case volume.
- FrontRunner is another paid, web-based option for buyers who want to contact the provider for product pricing.
- Afterword may suit buyers seeking published monthly pricing: Online Planner is $179 a month and Essential Case Management is $79 a month, with prices based on 200 cases/year.
- Funeral Manager offers paid care-of-the-deceased and arrangements modules for web users.
- Gather is another paid, web-based option.
- FuneralHQ is another paid, web-based option.
- Memcare is another paid, web-based option.
Verdict
Choose PlotBox if your cemetery, crematory or funeral-home operation needs a configurable system spanning records, scheduling and family access, with financial tools available at Enterprise level. Its strongest case is the combination of deathcare operations and public-facing cemetery features; look elsewhere if upfront pricing or a defined implementation schedule matters more.
