According to metro spokesperson Temba Gadebe, the software has improved booking methods, provided easy access to historical burial information and has led to reduced duplication.

To date, the system has been rolled out to 10 of the city’s cemeteries. The rollout will be completed by September, 2017.

The cemeteries using this software include Lala Ngoxolo, Boksburg, Vlakfontein, Kromvlei, Brakpan, Primrose, Zuurfontein, Mooifontein, Benoni Crematorium and Nigel.

“The new system is a culmination of various meetings between the city and its stakeholders concerning cemetery management,” said Gadebe.
