Cemetery keeps death info on kiosks

February 15, 2011

That old joke about "people dying to get in there" still applies at cemeteries in Savannah, Ga., however technology has changed it up a bit. The city and the Bonaventure Historical Society Inc. unveiled a new information kiosk Tuesday to help visitors keep track of their loved ones buried at Bonaventure Cemetery.

According to a story by the Southeast News Leader, hundreds of thousands of people are buried there, and after 15 years of loading every name, burial and date into a computer database the cemetery director decided to load the information into a kiosk.

The kiosk is located on the front porch of the Bonaventure Administrative Building at the main entrance to Bonaventure Cemetery, 330 Bonaventure Road.
