Warracknabeal RIP

 Seriously impressed with the Warracknabeal Cemetery's deceased search functionality.

"Warracknabeal Cemetery Chronicle is an online digital mapping system which indicates the exact location of a gravesite by simply inserting a deceased name. It gives the plot details, date the person was buried, other people in the grave and shows where the plot is in the cemetery. 





 Eventually more burial details on each deceased person will be available on this system. It is helpful for family historians as it shows the exact location of the gravesite. It also assists cemetery administration as it readily indicates reserved, occupied, and vacant gravesites in the cemetery."

The Chronicle people say their software makes securely managing your cemetery easy and affordable by allowing you to 

  • Create your digital cemetery
  • Manage your interment register
  • Share with the community

and that it is free for small cemeteries (up to 1,000 plots)!

Other Victorian cemeteries using Chronicle (you can search) are Beechworth, Bendoc, Boort, Bunyip, Carlsruhe, Chiltern, Lang Lang, Macedon, Maddingley, Murchison, Ouyen, Phillip Island, Rosedale, Yan Yean & Yarram.
