In this paper, we consider graveyards as a design context, and present a prototype graveyard-navigator mobile application. The app enables search and navigation to particular graves and provides information on family connections between the buried. We evaluate the application, and chart general perceptions of technology use in graveyards through in situ interviews in a graveyard (n=12). Our findings reveal that navigating in a graveyard with the mobile application was found both useful and acceptable, whereas visualizing family trees was perceived with mixed feelings, due to privacy concerns. The perceptions of technology use in the graveyard emphasized the importance of unobtrusiveness and respect for the peace and privacy of other visitors, as well as for the context.
