Tendmory vs PlotBox
Unlike PlotBox — which stops at the cemetery gate — Tendmory runs the whole chain: funeral home, crematory, and cemetery on one system, with a family Care app and CRM that PlotBox simply doesn't offer.
A side-by-side look at how Tendmory and PlotBox stack up — across cemeteries, funeral homes, crematories, and the families they serve. PlotBox is a well-established, enterprise cemetery and crematorium management system with strong GIS mapping. It's deep on the operations side, but it doesn't reach across the whole chain or serve families directly with grave care.

Where Tendmory is different
Enterprise cemetery & crematorium management is where PlotBox concentrates. Tendmory is built as one platform for the whole of deathcare — so the same record follows a family from the first call through cremation, interment, memorial, and ongoing grave care.
One platform, whole chain
Tendmory connects funeral homes, crematories, and cemeteries so a case moves in one click — not re-keyed between systems.
Families, not just staff
A family Care app for grave cleaning and upkeep, plus a live status families can follow — beyond back-office software.
Modern & transparent
A mobile-first interface, built-in CRM, ESIGN e-signatures, and clear self-serve pricing — with free migration to get you started.
We ran a 140-year-old cemetery on an enterprise system it took a week to teach anyone. Switching to Tendmory was life-changing — records, the plot map, sales, and family care finally live in one place, and my staff actually likes opening it.
Tendmory vs PlotBox: FAQ
Is Tendmory a good alternative to PlotBox?
Yes — and then some. Tendmory does what PlotBox does and goes further: one platform across funeral homes, crematories, and cemeteries, plus a family Care app and a built-in CRM. Most teams switch and don't look back.
How is Tendmory different from PlotBox?
Enterprise cemetery & crematorium management is PlotBox's lane. Tendmory runs the whole chain on a single record — first call, cremation, interment, memorial, and ongoing grave care — with a modern, mobile-first interface families and staff actually enjoy using.
Can I move my data from PlotBox to Tendmory?
Yes. Migration is free and we do the heavy lifting — most cemeteries and funeral homes are up and running within two days, with nothing lost.
Does PlotBox offer a family grave-care app like Tendmory?
Not the way Tendmory does. Families order cleaning, restoration, and upkeep, follow a live status, and see the before-and-after photos — all in one place, without downloading a separate grave-care app (like Tending) or juggling bolt-on tools. It's a revenue stream and a family relationship most competitors simply don't have.
What does Tendmory cost compared to PlotBox?
Tendmory is transparent and self-serve — clear pricing you can see and start on today, no drawn-out sales cycle or "request a quote" runaround.
