Cemetery & Crematorium Administration System

Tender description

The City of London went to tender for a contract duration of 5 years with an option to extend for an additional 2 years. ​​The City of London Cemetery and Crematorium is a major burial and cremation facility for Northeast London and part of Southwest Essex and is visited by around 250,000 people annually. Each year the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium carries out around 900 earth burials and 2600 cremations a year. ​​The current burial and cremation administration system is used to record and manage burials and cremations. It has outlived its effectiveness due to the limited updates to the system. Hosted on the City of London network, this system frequently experiences crashes, lacks integration with other cemetery systems, and is outdated. Consequently, it fails to meet user requirements. The Cemetery also still relies on hand-drawn maps dating back to when the cemetery was first opened in 1856. ​The Cemetery requires an end-to-end admin management system that is fully integrated with GIS mapping. This system should serve as the single source of truth and seamlessly link customer accounts and databases. Furthermore, the Cemetery is interested in acquiring a system capable of integrating with the City’s finance systems. This will ensure a streamlined and efficient operation, enhancing the overall management of the Cemetery.
