Many municipalities still manage cemetery records using:
  • Paper burial registers
  • Hand-drawn maps
  • Spreadsheet records
  • Filing cabinets containing decades of historical data
  • Manual plot searches requiring staff to physically visit the cemetery
This creates several challenges:
  • Records are difficult to locate and verify
  • Staff spend hours responding to genealogy enquiries
  • Plot locations are difficult to identify accurately
  • Burial scheduling and administration are manual
  • Payments are processed separately from records
  • Historical data is vulnerable to loss or damage
  • Families cannot access records online

This results in staff spending significant time managing records rather than serving the community.

Chronicle solves these problems by digitizing cemetery records and automating cemetery administration.
