In May 2021, GeoModel, Inc. conducted a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey to locate unmarked graves in an historic church cemetery near Black Mountain, North Carolina. Over one acre was scanned for unmarked graves. Many residents remember family members being buried in the cemetery in family plots, but the exact locations were not known. GeoModel’s nationally known expert grave locator, Matthew Turner, PG, traversed the cemetery using GPR and located the unmarked graves. An excellent example GPR profile of six unmarked graves located by GeoModel is shown below:
