Federation Council has unveiled a new online cemetery platform, providing a digital presence for all ten cemeteries within the local government area.
Acknowledging the historical importance these sacred locations hold, Council has partnered with cemetery software service Chronicle, to provide residents a unique cemetery experience.
Community members are able to create online memorials for former family, friends and citizens.
The website also assists residents with burial location and cemetery history.
"We are thrilled to launch this project and provide a valuable resource for the community”, said Mayor Cheryl Cook.
"Preserving the history of our cemeteries and the people they serve is important to us, and this project will help us do just that.“
Cemeteries are a fundamental part of any community, offering valuable insights into community history, and those who helped shape it.
