Rates for 2026
Pricing
One license per cemetery. $750 a year, and nothing else to buy.
Built for association, church, township, and family cemeteries — a few hundred graves to a few thousand. Before deciding, open the demonstration — a sample cemetery you can click through in your browser, with nothing to install.

What it costs over five years
A yearly price is easy to compare. The rest of the bill is where cemetery software actually differs, so here is the whole thing over five years — the length of time a small association is likely to keep whatever it chooses.
| Sexton | Typical elsewhere | |
|---|---|---|
| Software, five years | $3,750 | $4,000 – $9,500 |
| Mapping the grounds | None — laid out from your row counts | Commonly quoted by the acre, $1,000 – $1,500 each |
| Setup and digitizing | None | $0 self-serve, up to $2,499 assisted |
| Bringing in old records | None | Usually quoted by the job |
| Five-year total, six acres mapped | $3,750 | $10,000 – $18,500 |
The right-hand column is drawn from rates other cemetery software companies publish on their own pages, checked 4 August 2026, and assumes six acres mapped — the same basis as the first-year figures on the home page. A cemetery that has nobody map it and sets itself up pays the software row alone, $4,000 to $9,500 over the five years. Sexton's figure does not move either way, because none of those charges exist.
How billing works
Once a year, by invoice. A check is fine, and no card is kept on file. One license covers a cemetery and installs on two computers — normally the office machine and the one at the treasurer's or sexton's house. Everyone in the office can use it, and there is no charge per person.
Updates and support are part of the yearly price. There is nothing extra to buy at any point.
Renewal
The license runs a year at a time. Sexton begins reminding you a month before the date and keeps working normally for thirty days after it, so a renewal waiting on the next board meeting changes nothing.
After that, the app stops opening the register until the renewal is settled — and exporting every record you have stays available on that same screen, renewed or lapsed.
Your records
They live on your own machine, and they can be written out to plain spreadsheet files at any time. Those files open in Excel with or without Sexton installed. If you ever stop, the register is still yours.
What it runs on
Windows and macOS. No internet connection is needed to run it. An office without one can still activate: Sexton shows a machine code to read or send to us, and we send back a license file made for that computer, which installs from a drive or an emailed copy.
Coming on board now
Cemeteries joining at this stage get a half-day of setup — in person, or over a call, or worked through by email — and their existing records imported for them. The price is held for as long as the license is kept — whatever Sexton costs later, it stays $750 a year for you.
Sexton keeps the office register — the copy the board and the sexton work from. It does not take card payments from families, and it does not publish a search page for the public.
