Case Study: Shire of Plantagenet preserves pioneer heritage and speeds genealogy research with Chronicle

Shire of Plantagenet digitizes 4,027 cemetery plots with Chronicle

The Shire of Plantagenet faced challenges in managing its three historic cemeteries, with fragmented records across multiple systems and manual processes that made genealogy requests and plot management time-consuming and inefficient. To preserve its pioneer heritage and improve accessibility, the Shire partnered with Chronicle to implement its cemetery software solution.

Chronicle digitized the cemeteries by conducting precise headstone surveys and capturing high-resolution aerial imagery to create an accurate, integrated digital system. This solution enabled real-time plot selection for families and instant search capabilities for staff and visitors. The results reduced the time spent on genealogy enquiries from days to minutes and brought greater operational precision to managing approximately 50 annual interments across 4,027 plots.
