The Crypt Keeper

MAKES MY WORK MUCH EASIER!

Kommentare: Questions are often asked what the very first burial was. With the new search options I was quickly able to determine that first recorded burial was 1839.

Vorteile:

Before we got this software, all we had was the Cemetery Plot Books and it was difficult to figure out who was where. Doesn't take a lot of research to find available lots, reserved lots, etc. now. I like the new features of ways to do searches.

Nachteile:

Is there any way to go from individual record to that lot on the map? I know it just recently was added that we can click on a lot on the map and it will take us to that individual record. Most of the time I am on the individual record and need to hunt it up on the map.

Great value for the money

Kommentare: The biggest problem it solves is getting historical information into the cloud so it is safe from fire, theft or other destruction.

Vorteile:

We are a not-for-profit historical society whose mission is to preserve and protect the burial records for Union Cemetery, Kansas City Missouri's oldest public cemetery. The burial records are now stored on 3"by 5" cards. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has customized Crypt Keeper to include all the information on the burial cards and more! The added feature of being able to have several users on the site at one time helps transferring information to the site very easy.

Nachteile:

The only thing that could be a little more user friendly is the mapping feature. Our cemetery is not square or rectangular so it makes using the feature a little problematic.

General Cemtery

Kommentare: It is a great step up from paper records. Now anyone can look up the data on any plots.

Vorteile:

It's affordable. It does what I need it to. Good representation of the grounds transferred to the maps.

Nachteile:

It loads a little slow on my phone. When I'm out in the cemetery trying to find a plot the map can be very frustrating to load in and out of plots and try to remember which ones I've looked at already.

Very satisfied with the software

Kommentare: From the very first questions emailed to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] in 2018 to the current questions I have had, I have been impressed with the prompt response he has made to my questions. In my experience, this is almost unheard of to have an answer so quickly. In my opinion, this promptness has made our decision to purchase and stay with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] a priority. And the ease of use of this product for our cemetery is a plus, we are very very satisfied with it.

Vorteile:

We've used this product since 2018, and upon downloading the trial software and experiencing the ease of use and benefits of the reports and visual map indicating the graves usages, it was nearly a no brainer for us.

Nachteile:

When [SENSITIVE CONTENT] dropped the PC version, we weren't very happy because of the "cloud" fear factor, but since we are able to download the online into our PC version, it changed our appreciation. Mainly our dislike of the online version is the hassle of logging in and it also record entries etc take longer than on the home PC where we can just click on it and complete our tasks, whether a quick search on the map for an open grave or a search for someone in the system.

From the developer...

Vorteile:

I notice that the description of this software under this review site mentions we do not offer image support, this is false. We do allow the uploading of images to cemetery records. These are limited to JPG only, but these images can be photos, documents or any other image deemed necessary to the cemetery record.

Nachteile:

As the developer, I can say that any user of the software need only click the CONTACT menu for a speedy response.
