Cemetery records

Under the Commonwealth's Community Compact program, we will be receiving $20,000 toward creating a searchable database of all cemetery burial records and allowing easier public access to them. This is a program specifically for IT related projects and communities are eligible if they have a Compact in some area (like we do for Complete Streets). The interest in enhancing the cemetery records is a direct outcome from the records management analysis we did last year which noted that we had single paper records for most of these and operationally it is challenging to manually search as last names change through generations.
