International research has shown that depictions of children on early modern funerary monuments were relatively common, with documented examples from England, Germany, Poland, and the Low Countries. These studies indicate that, despite high child mortality rates, families often chose funerary effigies as a meaningful form of commemoration. In Sweden, however, the representation of children in funerary sculpture remains underexplored, and no comprehensive study has yet addressed this material. My research aims to fill this gap by identifying and analysing Swedish examples of child effigies from 1500–1700 to examine their relationship to established international traditions. A central component of this work is the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to locate, map, and visualise the spatial distribution of these monuments. This paper discusses the methodological rationale for employing GIS and demonstrates the benefits of spatial analysis for understanding regional patterns, workshop networks, and the social contexts of these commemorative practices. I also reflect on the practical aspects of working with platforms such as QGIS and Nodegoat, addressing both their analytical potential and the challenges they present. Selected examples will show how GIS contributes new perspectives to the study of early modern funerary art in Sweden.
