Working for a small municipality we only had one very old map of the local cemetery so I decided to try and create a new one using GIS. I created a polygon layer, drawing each cemetery plot, populating the attribute table with all of the information we had on file. I created a field that was either populated with "occupied", "reserved" or "available" for colour display purposes. The only thing I find time consuming now is in order for the labels on each occupied plot to display nicely (Name of person(s) buried) I had turned all of them into annotation and edited them that way, now everytime there is a new burial I must go into the attribute table and edit the plot information and then add a new annotation for that plot. Maybe there is an easier way to do all of this??
