RFP - Christchurch City Council (NZ) - Cemeteries Management Solution

It is a requirement of the Burial and Cremation Act 1964 and Bylaws that Council keep a record of all burials in Council owned cemeteries. We are currently running a dual system of manual and electronic recording.

These two systems work in tandem and are required in order to run the cemetery operations effectively and efficiently. Given the time constraints to process and issue applications for interments (within 24 hours of receipt of the application), a fully electronic system is desirable to ensure these time frames are met.

The current database that is used by the Cemeteries team requires replacement due to this system no longer meeting the needs of the business.

The purpose of this project is to provide a database that is reliable and efficient for use by members of the public and the Council. To enable the Cemeteries Administrator to electronically keep accurate information on burials and any associated problems with each grave record.
