Case Study: Murray River Council digitises cemetery records and maps with Chronicle

Murray River Council - Customer Case Study

Murray River Council in New South Wales, Australia needed a better way to manage six cemeteries, replacing manual Excel-based records, paper maps, and time-consuming plot searches that made it hard for staff and the public to find accurate information. The council worked with Chronicle and its cemetery mapping and records management software to improve accuracy, accessibility, and day-to-day operations.

Chronicle digitised the council’s cemetery records, surveyed the grounds, created interactive online cemetery maps, and delivered mobile-friendly 24/7 access to plot information. The project was completed in just 3 months for under $50,000, with 2-centimetre GPS coordinate accuracy for graves and headstones, no requested mapping changes, and a faster, easier experience for both staff and community members.
