Cemeteries

The brief

The client wanted to produce accurate, digital records for their two cemeteries and asked us for our help.

The challenge

The oldest cemetery records, dating back over 150 years, included faded handwritten entries needing transcription and typed documents requiring OCR. These had to be combined before uploading to the management system.

The solution

We used our in-depth knowledge and experience of interpreting and transcribing burial records to decipher the content, fill in any gaps, pull all the information together and create files compatible for uploading to the client’s cemetery software.

Client testimonial

“Scripti has a good working knowledge of burial records, which is a bonus when undertaking a project of this size and importance.”
