About Chronicle
Chronicle is an easy-to-use, cloud-based cemetery management software, that combines high-quality plot mapping with deceased records to create an immersive user experience that the community will love.
Our goal is to enhance community engagement with their cemeteries while helping to maintain accurate cemetery records. Our user-friendly daily management tools combined with interactive mapping technology allow the public to find their loved ones, reserve a plot for future use and create digital memorials for the departed.
As of October 2022, Chronicle works with 200 cemeteries worldwide, and we have been trusted by 30+ (and counting) Victorian cemeteries to help them digitise and maintain their cemetery records online, making cemetery management a lot easier, faster, better, and safer.
**Here’s why our customers love Chronicle:**
- Affordable pricing for cemeteries of all sizes, from tiny cemeteries like [St Mary’s Catholic Church Cemetery](https://map.chronicle.rip/Snug-St-Marys-Catholic-Cemetery) (Tas, Aus) with less than 500 interments to [Battle Creek Memorial Park](https://map.chronicle.rip/battle-creek-memorial-park) (MA, US) with over 50,000 interments.
- Chronicle was founded by professional surveyors, meaning we prioritise creating an accurate link between the digital record and the true burial space by incorporating high-quality aerial drone mapping, ensuring that we make an accurate and beautiful digital mirror of our cemeteries.
- We make sure all data are safe and secure. We help cemeteries meet the specific needs of the DHHS, Cemetery and Crematoria Act 2003 and other data privacy requirements.
- Intuitive and easy-to-use software that is also sophisticated for comprehensive cemetery management requirements.
- The Chronicle team provides the best customer support, from pre-sales, project delivery, to after-sales.
- [Life Chronicle](https://watch.wave.video/introducing-life-chronicle-hfaEPNSjImWBNR9d) is available for all our customers, giving their community a place to remember and share the story of a life.

Chronical has been a great enhancement
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.

Amazing software that is constantly being improved!
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.
Reasons for Choosing Chronicle
No mapping functionality. Limited fields. Terrible search functions.Reasons for Switching to Chronicle
All of the software we researched was too expensive for our small budget. At the time of purchase, they had many features that we didn't need but Chronicle has since added for the same low rates.Response from Chronicle
Hi Virginia, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that our customer support and development team has been able to meet your expectations. We will definitely keep working on adding more features to improve our platform, so stay tuned!

Chronicle setup progressing well
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.
Reasons for Switching to Chronicle
Better value for the cost. They all would likely do a good job, but there appears to be better value with Chronicle.Response from Chronicle
Hi Dale, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear Chronicle is helping streamline your cemetery's operations and that our team has met your expectations. We appreciate your support as we continue enhancing the platform to bring you even more value. You can always reach out to our support team anytime you need anything!

The Best For Us
Brilliant. There have been some small issues and we are still getting used to it but the Chronicle team are always helpful, responsive and pro-active.
Pros
Mapping & records management. Cost effective for our business.
Cons
Runs slow at times but likely due to server distance and local bandwidth consumption.
