When the Bendoc Cemetery was re-surveyed and digitally mapped, known existing burials were identified and recorded. The area where these burials were located was extended as a ‘conventional’ burial area where simple memorials (natural rocks with identification) are permitted. The remainder of the developed area has been laid out as a Natural Burial Ground dedicated to sustainable burial practices. Headstones are not permitted in this area, however, burial sites can always be located using a set of permanent location markers set around the cemetery area.
Chronicle Cemetery Software has been instrumental in helping the Bendoc Natural burial ground honor the lives interred within its grounds. The Chronicle platform provides the tools to accurately map the minimally marked burial locations and manage vital records, ensuring that the rich history and memories of the departed are preserved with precision. Through Chronicle, Bendoc can now seamlessly celebrate these lives by connecting families and community members to the stories of those who came before them, inspiring future generations.
