THE EKURHULENI Metro has put in place cemetery manager software, a tool set to end gravesite booking irregularities and maladministration.

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 10 of the city’s cemeteries. The rollout will be completed by September, 2017.

Kromvlei Cemetery is on the list of cemeteries using the software.

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