A Complete Cemetery System for Cities and Communities

Help visitors find their loved ones and help cities preserve local history. Now & Then lets any community — from small-town cemeteries to large historical societies — create a searchable online directory that can live on the web or on a tablet at city hall.

  • ✓Searchable listings by name, section, row, or lot number
  • ✓Mowing and grounds maintenance schedules
  • ✓Visiting hours and driving directions
  • ✓Headstone photos and epitaphs
  • ✓A city hall tablet experience for visitors, staff, and families
  • ✓Links to full memorial profiles for deeper remembrance

Preserve the wisdom of a whole community

A city could preserve its judges, veterans, teachers, founders, and community leaders in one place. Visitors could sit at city hall, open a tablet, and talk with a respectful AI memory of a judge from 100 years ago.

It means grandchildren born after someone passes can still hear the stories, values, and hard-earned wisdom that carried families through World War II, hard times, and generations of local history.

A simple truth worth saving

A father’s work was more than a job.

For generations, people passed down trades, pride, habits, and hard-earned lessons from parent to child. A son became proud of the work because Dad was proud of it first.

Now & Then helps families and towns preserve those stories, so the next generation knows not only what their people did — but why it mattered.
