Local Cemetery Goes High Tech

Burdekin Shire Council is proud to announce the launch of its new cemetery management program OpusXenta in an innovative step towards evolving community access and operational proficiency. The leading-edge program promises to transform how cemetery records are managed and services are provided in the community.

Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort outlined the numerous benefits that OpusXenta will bring to both council staff and local residents.

“This upgrade facilitates long-term planning and extends the life of our cemetery facilities,” Cr Dalle Cort said.

She emphasised that the new system will modernise cemetery administration, offering a more ordered and accessible experience for all involved.

One of the standout features of OpusXenta is its enhanced search functionality on the Council’s website, allowing users to easily locate specific grave sites, and provide precise burial site information at the click of a button.

The integration of interactive maps further supports this functionality, enabling users to view detailed layouts of the cemeteries and locate graves directly from their smartphones. This revolutionary advancement is expected to make visiting and navigating cemeteries a much more convenient experience for community members.

For those seeking more information about the new cemetery management system, the Burdekin Shire Council encourages residents to contact their Customer Service Centre at (07) 4783 9800. Alternatively, details can be found on the Council’s website at burdekin.qld.gov.au.

This initiative underscores the Council’s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance public services and community engagement.
