The most interesting people nearby are already dead. Find the writers, outlaws, and legends buried around you — and the stories of how they lived. 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 • Life stories, portraits, and dates pulled from Wikidata and Wikipedia • Save the souls you want to remember — hearts live on your device • 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 (email or Apple) 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.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Smoother browsing when you widen your search — the list no longer jumps while new results load. Better map framing in dense cities, so nearby pins stay in view. Small fixes and polish.
