Pros

“Take a good hard look at what you are recording, where it is recorded and why it is recorded, from there you may be able to eliminate much of what is unnecessary and enjoy a cleaner start with this outstanding system. As our cemetery grows the Chronicle team are always available and supportive to our needs, meaning that we can be confident that new developments will be taken care of swiftly and are accurately reflected in the platform.”

Cons

“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.”

Curator

“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.”

“Some of the map image has been compromised because of trees hiding the images.”
