From the start, the folks at Chronicle have been knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Their follow-up has been excellent and I've never been left hanging for an answer, report or update.
Pros: We love thoroughness of the database that captures so much information. Our cemetery includes people from the Revolutionary Era through the present. It's wonderful to now have all that organized and accessible. Before we basically relied on one person with a great memory to help locate a grave! Chronicle's digitizing of our cemetery has insured the historical record is intact and accessible.
Cons: It can take a little time for the database to return results - but it's working with a ton of data, so a little patience is no big deal.
Christine M. · Special Projects Liaison · Consumer Services · August 28, 2025
Our overall experience with Chronicle has been excellent. It has transformed our cemetery into a living archive and provided the public with a meaningful way to connect with the history of Kaapsehoop. Even with limited use of the administrative functions, the storytelling and record-keeping capabilities alone have been invaluable.
Pros: Chronicle has allowed us to bring our historical cemetery to life by sharing the stories behind the headstones. The platform is easy to use, visually engaging, and makes heritage accessible to the public in a way that is both respectful and informative

Our duties are much more manageable. We are able to satisfactorily assist our members with this most holy task, knowing that our records are current and safely preserved. For example, previously it was difficult to determine exactly on which side of a gravestone a body was buried. Chronicle's drone survey images make it much easier to identify a disturbance in the ground. Just recently a member was concerned that his mother and father were not buried side by side. We were able to send screenshots of the Chronicle map to help him communicate with his sisters and with all of us. Being able to resolve such issues successfully is very comforting to the families, and meaningful to us. We are all volunteers. The Chronicle software has simplified the challenges we face and assures a successful and permanent future for our cemetery for years to come.
Pros: Remote access to our cemetery information has been a dream come true for me. As a volunteer committee, we can now communicate easily about gravesite locations, purchases, and rights of burial. The database and map location can be updated simultaneously and immediately. We are able to send screenshots - with notations - to the mortuary or to the monument company. Or to the family members themselves. This has been a huge benefit to all parties involved.
Cons: The Report function is one I find frustrating to use. I have to uncheck so many categories to get just what we need. And it's not as intuitive to use as I would like.
Deborah R. · Cemetery Committee Chair · Non-Profit Organization Management · August 24, 2025
It was a pleasure to work with Chronicle on this project. In my previous life before I was in ministry, I spent about 32 years in IT working with numerous vendors on automation and GIS projects. I found Chronicle to be responsive, organized and demonstrated good attention to detail. I am hoping to deploy this solution for some of the other cemeteries within our pastoral charge.
Pros: I particularly like the mapping and GIS functionality. We tried to create a Cemetery management system in the past using ESRI software. But when I found Chronicle, I realized that its software as a service approach would mean it would be relatively easy to deploy and easy to use. I was also impressed with how Chronicle facilitated the drone coverage of our cemetery and carefully put together the data set.
Cons: Probably the response time over the internet. However this has not been a significant problem. That being said, if Chronicle could improve the response time that would be a good thing.
David A. · Minister · Religious Institutions · August 23, 2025
Helpful software. Very helpful customer service. They are usually very quick to help me find a solution to my problem.
Pros: Customer support is excellent. They are always able to help me with any issues I may have. They usually offer different options to fix my issue.
Cons: Sometimes there’s a lag in responses due to location differences. But it’s not really that big of a deal.

Pros: I felt that Chronicle offered all of the elements needed to effectively manage our cemetery records and operations plus so much more. We have barely scratched the surface of the platform's capabilities but we hope to make full use of all it's features in the future. It has proven to be an invaluable tool for us and our customers who can now explore and appreciate our beautiful space like never before.
Cons: Honestly I can't say there's anything not to like. There are occasional issues with adapting to the platform from our legacy processes but certainly nothing that is insurmountable or without a simple workaround. We may be in a slightly different position to many cemeteries in that we have only been operating for 25 years and have a considerable amount of development still to take place but Chronicle's team has, and continues, to support us every step of the way.

Chronicle RIP is a modern, user-friendly cemetery management software designed to simplify recordkeeping, mapping, and administrative tasks for cemeteries of all sizes. It offers a digital approach to managing burial plots, interments, and historical records, helping cemeteries transition from outdated paper systems to efficient, cloud-based solutions.
Pros: Intuitive mapping tools: The visual plot mapping feature is easy to use and provides clear, interactive layouts of cemetery grounds. Centralized records: Digital recordkeeping makes it easy to access and update burial information, reducing errors and lost data. Search functionality: Quickly locate plot records, deceased individuals, or vacant spaces with simple search tools.
Cons: Initial setup: Migrating older records can take time and may require support, especially for cemeteries with decades of handwritten data
Vanessa W. · Coordinator Administration and Customer Service · Government Administration · June 6, 2025
So far, we are impressed with the site and appreciative of the customer service received! We look forward to the continued support of our wonderful cemetery.
Pros: Chronicle has been amazing! Switching to Chronicle has made our customer/cemetery experiences so much better. It is easier for families to find their loved ones.
Cons: We have had a huge increase in families wanting to bury urns with previous deceased family members. This causes a change in the mapping process that can only be changed by Chronicle. Chronicle has been very helpful and timely with these change requests.
Lori Ann H. · Utility Accounts Manager · Government Administration · May 23, 2025
The communication with the team at Chronicle is remarkable. Customer service is excellent.
Pros: Specifically designed for cemetery management, it has the ability to continually evolve according to industry needs, ideas and expectations. I really like that it is very comprehensive and able to accommodate all documentation and management requirements. Importantly, Chronicle promotes community engagement, allowing record searches, genealogy studies and location of interment sites. Records are no longer locked away with access only available to cemetery staff.
Cons: I would like it to be a bit faster. Sometimes the internet seems slow making it difficult to move from page to page.
Sheryl N. · Trust member · Government Administration · February 7, 2025
Is valuable tool for research & storage.
Pros: Readily available location of gravesites
Cons: The search button is often slow to load.
Rosemary B. · Chairperson · Health, Wellness and Fitness · February 6, 2025
I like to take advantage of the multitude of options when storing data that relates to plots and persons
Pros: The ease of searching via multiple reference points for plots or persons.
Cons: The inability to register Niche wall plots - But this has also now been addressed
Melanie L. · Administration Officer Infrastructure services · Government Administration · February 6, 2025
Good - good communication, addressing questions, etc.
Pros: Relatively user-friendly, good communication
Cons: There was some incorrect information on our maps in the beginning, but it was rectified.
Joni V. · Parish Secretary · Religious Institutions · January 29, 2025
Love it especially for the ability to edit online in the field with phone and then on desktop for more detailed infomation.
Pros: Simplicity of use and service in initial setup was amazing
Cons: Connecting with the server seems to be slow to edit Need to be able to enter only year for birth and death dates
Shawn S. · Sexton · Government Administration · January 7, 2025
Very good , they are available to answer any questions and their organization is great.
Pros: They make everything easy , from start up to finish. Communicate well with their customers too
Cons: Nothing . It’s is on good with great service and ideas . Nothing negative to say
Philip B. · Cemetery chairman · Religious Institutions · November 29, 2024
We are still in the setup phase so our experience with Chronicle is limited but we are happy with the progress and see the product being able to make our cemetery greatly more efficient.
Pros: The Chronicle team is willing to work with our cemetery to structure the data and map to our needs. They have delivered on everything they promised.
Cons: They are rolling out updates on the fly so it isn't quite mature yet, but the product keeps getting better.
Dale C. · assistant manager · Non-Profit Organization Management · August 9, 2024
Overall our experience has been very positive. The support staff is extremely responsive, and helpful when we need to make changes or additions to plots. It took a lot of work on our part to upload all the old paper documents, but well worth the effort.
Pros: The ability to map and locate plots, and to store key records. Also the fact that photos and stories can be added to interments for public view.
Cons: Graphics are a little week on the public page.
Matthew P. · Business Manager · Non-Profit Organization Management · July 24, 2024
I am impressed with the ongoing and regular upgrades to the database and mapping. Visitors to the cemetery and family researchers have also given their compliments on the database and mapping. Support staff are appreciated for their promptness in replying to enquiries and requests.
Pros: The aerial imaging and attached photos of cemetery graves makes it feel like you are visiting a loved one's final resting place in person.
Cons: Refresh is required regularly when using the search bar
Michelle B. · Administration · Accounting · June 26, 2024
Initially nervous and not sure how they were going to complete a big project that appeared to be such a mess to me. Very impressed with the product at this stage
Pros: The cemetery is accurately mapped with the ability to view all relevant documentation relating to an interment in just one click.
Cons: I occasionally find the site a little glitchy
Debra R. · Trust Secretary · Non-Profit Organization Management · June 16, 2024
Pros: Simple to use for staff and members of the public.
Cons: We have not experienced anything that we do not like about Chronicle
Marie F. · Records Officer · Government Administration · June 14, 2024
The software is rich with features and intuitive to use, for administrators and groundskeepers alike. Implementation was flawless. Customer support is amazing.
Pros: Customer support and the development team are amazing. They continually upgrade the software and listen to feedback from customers.
Cons: Absolutely nothing. At purchase, it provided a cost effective method to have mapping and data management but has since grown into a very robust software that has retained its low pricing.
Virginia S. · Public Works Administration Manager · Government Administration · April 5, 2024
Pros: I really enjoy the usability of the website. It is very intuitive and user friendly.
Cons: I would like to see more accounting features in Chronicle.
Michael B. · Director of Operations · Religious Institutions · March 28, 2024
I have been very happy with the product and the support that I have received from the Chronicle team.
Pros: Chronicle is reasonably easy to navigate through. The maps and images are very useful to allow contractors and interested new lease applicants to look at the Cemetery online. We have four cemeteries with each one having their own Curator. Chronicle will allow curators to step in at another cemetery when the need arises. It will also allow for succession planning for the Curators.
Cons: Some of the map image has been compromised because of trees hiding the images. Our biggest issue was that our existing records were mostly paper based and it took a considerable amount of time to get all of our information into a database - this was no fault of Chronicle, but a reflection on the existing management of our Cemetery records.
Peter F. · Curator · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 28, 2024
Pros: Ease of use. No special training required to figure out software.
Cons: Not sure if its Chronicle or our internet speed but when searching for a name is can sometimes take a while for Chronicle to generate the list.
Vanessa L. · CEMETERY STAFF · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 15, 2024
We were able to implement in under a year with 2.5 part time volunteers doing the data entry and validating our Lot Cards with personal visits to the cemetery. I have an IT software project mgmt background and that is a tremendous achievement. Chronicle trained us and has supported us through the process and is very open to suggestions for improvements and adding features to make use of the software and reporting easier.
Pros: We are a small Church affiliated Cemetery and when comparing Cemetery software we found that Chronicle's features stacked up impressively against the biggest names and higher priced companies. You can grow into the features you use, implement on your own schedules and it is very easy to learn and use.
Cons: Payments are via credit cards which is difficult for Churches.
Lynn P. · Secretary of Cemetery Committee · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 13, 2024
I will always, always recommend Chronicle. [sensitive content hidden] and his team are amazing! I'll screen shot something I need help with, or a plot that was missing (during setup) and it's completed within days if not hours! When I took my position and I was shown the cemetery, I was overwhelmed and saddened by the records! I had in my mind what I wanted done & how it should be & Chronicle matched it and elevated what I envisioned! This is something that I am extremely proud to have implemented in our city and can't wait to hear feedback from residents and the council!
Pros: EVERYTHING! Literally everything. The team is amazing! The records that I inherited were horrible! Some things were labeled on a piece of cardboard with white paper taped to it. Coffee stains, penciled in (which was rubbed off over the years). Just names written down on a piece of paper and how many plots were sold. No records at all from the 70's back!
Cons: I'd like to be able to zoom to a grave from different angles or even add grave plots on my own; however, the team said they are working toward that!
