Murray River Council has today launched a new digital platform for the management of local cemetery records.
Families and friends can now conduct historical enquiries in a live database where they can access cemetery records and information.
This includes relevant dates, plot information and aerial footage of the sites.
Mayor, Cr Chris Bilkey said this is an exciting improvement to Council's memorialisation and burial services.
"Administration of our cemeteries is a huge task undertaken by council staff, so the new online platform will significantly tidy up the creation and maintenance of our records".
"And even better, the software will now provide the community with real-time access to cemetery information and records via our website."
The digital platform covers all 6 operational cemeteries including Barham, Mathoura Lawn, Mathoura Pioneer, Moama, Moulamein and Tooleybuc.
It will assist with processing new sites, burial bookings, cremated remains interments, monumental works and customer enquiries.
You can search the platform via Council's website at www.murrayriver.nsw.gov.au/Our-Services/Cemetery-management
