Context
A municipal cemetery office managed lots, graves, and burial records across paper maps, desktop GIS files, and office documents. Public inquiries and staff administration used different unofficial sources.
The municipality needed a single spatial system of record with staff workflows and a public map that exposed only appropriate information.
The Problem
Paper and file-based maps
Authoritative geometry lived in fragile desktop files and printed sheets that few staff could update safely.
Split administrative records
Lot, grave, and person records were not bound to stable spatial identifiers.
Uncontrolled public answers
Front-desk responses depended on institutional memory rather than a governed public view.
Our Approach
1. Spatial and records model
Defined lots, graves, and related records with PostGIS geometry and clear ownership rules.
2. Administrative GIS application
Delivered staff map editing, search, and record workflows with audit-friendly history.
Strategy: Admin authority, public subset3. Public map channel
Published a controlled map experience that shares only policy-approved cemetery information.
4. Data migration and training
Migrated legacy maps and registers, then trained cemetery office staff on day-to-day administration.
The Outcome
Staff administer cemetery geography and records in one system. The public map presents controlled information without exposing administrative detail.
