Case Study: Town of Marshfield, MA achieves faster, more accurate cemetery records management with Docufree

Town of Marshfield, MA - Customer Case Study

The Town of Marshfield, MA faced a critical challenge as its seven cemeteries were running out of available lots. The paper-based record-keeping system, which consisted of thousands of documents stored in a safe, was cumbersome, inaccurate, and led to a moratorium on lot sales. The town required a digital solution to manage its cemetery records and accurately track inventory. They selected Docufree to implement its CemeteryFind cloud-based records management software and related digitization services.

Docufree's solution involved scanning all paper records, creating interactive geographical maps, and providing a cloud-based platform for data access. This allowed for the auto-population of deed forms and provided 24/7 public access to search for burial locations. The implementation resulted in a 30% decrease in administrative time and a 10% reduction in errors. Docufree provided the town with an accurate, real-time view of lot availability, allowing them to confidently resume sales and improve operational efficiency.
