The meaning behind our name.
Avanim (ah-vah-NEEM) is the Hebrew word for stones.
Why “Avanim”?
Avanim is the Hebrew word for stones. We chose it because stones are at the heart of what a cemetery is, and of the work we do.
A sign that someone remembers
At a Jewish cemetery, visitors place a small stone on the grave before they leave. Flowers fade, but a stone stays. It quietly tells the family, and everyone who passes, that this person has not been forgotten.
Every gravestone, accounted for
Gravestones are how a cemetery remembers who rests where. We locate, photograph and map every one, and find the graves that have lost their marker, so no one is left unaccounted for.
Both kinds of stone say the same thing: this person was here, and they are remembered. Our job is to make sure the records say it too.
Built by people who have run a cemetery.
Avanim Mapping Solutions is led by a former cemetery executive director, with surveying, engineering and GIS in-house.
