Case Study: Central Coast Council preserves cemetery history and improves public access with PlotBox

Central Coast Council opens search across 8 cemeteries with PlotBox

Central Coast Council, a local government body in Australia, sought to digitally transform its management of five operational and six historic cemeteries. Their challenge was to replace two legacy IT systems and preserve a rich history by making burial records easily accessible to the public. They implemented PlotBox's single, cloud-based cemetery management solution to address this.

PlotBox's solution involved digitally mapping the cemeteries with high-resolution drone imagery and linking deceased records to exact plot locations. This created the Everafter public portal, allowing online searches of burial records. The results streamlined operations for council staff and provided the community with a valuable tool for locating loved ones and conducting genealogical research, thereby preserving the area's history. PlotBox helped the council connect its community with its past and present.
