Digital Mapping Project: Important Notice Regarding Drone Surveys

Adur & Worthing Councils are digitising all burial records to ensure all graves and memorials are accurately recorded and easy for families to locate. As part of this vital project, we will be conducting professional, high-resolution drone surveys across our sites.

Survey details

  • Locations: Worthing Crematorium and all cemeteries in Adur and Worthing
  • Dates: Week commencing Monday 2nd March 2026
  • Time: Weather permitting, surveys will take place between 8am and 4pm

Why the survey is necessary

The aerial imagery captured will be used to create a precise, interactive digital map. This technology will allow us to:

  • Upgrade our current paper-based records with accurate GPS data
  • Significantly improve the ability of families to find the exact location of loved ones
  • Enhance our planning for site maintenance and landscaping

Commitment to privacy and respect

All flights are strictly for mapping purposes and will be conducted by licensed pilots in full compliance with safety regulations. We are committed to maintaining a peaceful and respectful environment:

  • No identifiable images of visitors will be recorded or stored
  • Flights will be paused during funeral services
