The most interesting people nearby are already dead. See who's buried around you — or flip to Died here and find the hotel, hospital, or street where a legend went out. Nearly Departed maps the notable dead buried near you — writers, outlaws, inventors, musicians, the famous and the forgotten — each with the story of a life, a block from yours. Tap "Continue" and the map fills with the remarkable people resting nearby. Or search anywhere: a city you're visiting, a cemetery you've wondered about, the town you grew up in. Every soul comes with a biography drawn from public records, so you don't just find a grave — you meet a neighbor. WHAT YOU GET • A discovery map of notable burials, near you or anywhere you search • Died here: flip the map to where notable people died — the hospital, the hotel, the battlefield — when Wikidata records the spot • Life stories, portraits, and dates pulled from Wikidata and Wikipedia • Save the souls you want to remember. Visit their graves in person to earn your standing in the archive • Directions to the cemetery via Apple Maps • Cemetourists: our field guide to visiting gravesites with respect BUILT DIFFERENTLY • No account required — explore everything as a guest • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Public records, not surveillance • Location is used only while the app is open, only to find burials near you • Optional sign-in syncs your saves across devices — and you can delete your account in the app anytime Burial records come from community-maintained public sources (Wikidata, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap). Pins mark cemeteries, not exact plots — verify before you travel, obey posted hours, and treat every site with care. The dead are patient. They've been waiting for you.

Distances now mean what they say. Every person page measures from you — not from the place you searched — so "4 mi from you" and the visit button finally agree. When Wikidata is having a slow day, the app now tells you instead of spinning forever. Switching tabs is instant now, and the map stays right where you left it.
