The software has improved booking methods, provided easy access to historical burial information and has led to reduced duplication.

It is also regulating undertakers.

To date, the system has been rolled out to ten of the city’s cemeteries. The roll out will be completed by September 2017.

Some of the cemeteries using the cemetery manager software include: Lala Ngoxolo cemetery, Boksburg Cemetery, Vlakfontein Cemetery, Kromvlei Cemetery, Brakpan Cemetery, Primrose Cemetery, Zuurfontein Cemetery, Mooifontein Cemetery, Benoni Crematorium and Nigel Cemetery.

The new system is a culmination of various meetings between the city and its stakeholders concerning cemetery management.
