Enhanced memorial experience for Plantagenet

The community can now more easily locate and visit the gravesites of their loved ones, following the implementation of an innovative and immersive digital platform, Chronicle.

Chronicle enables users to search for an individual's name or birth date, locate specific plots within a cemetery, access public records, and create an online memorial.

A walk-to-grave directional feature can guide users to a specific burial site using their smartphone or device's GPS, and they can virtually visit a gravesite from anywhere in the world at any time.

The user-friendly platform is accessible for all three of the Shire’s cemeteries: Mount Barker East and West Cemetery, Kendenup Cemetery and Rocky Gully Cemetery by clicking the link to the specific cemetery. QR codes will be installed at each cemetery in coming weeks.

Further information is available on the Shire’s cemeteries webpage.

Enquiries regarding Chronicle can be made to the Shire’s Administration Centre in person during office hours, by phone (08) 9892 1111 or by email [email protected].
