Why bereavement services choose Deceased Online

The records your service already keeps, safe for the future and working for you today.

  • Fragile registers preserved

    Historical registers are digitised once, so the information is safe for the future and the originals are handled far less.

  • Ready for your management system

    The digitised records can go into your bereavement management system, Epilog Cloud or another, so the history sits with today’s records.

  • Less time in the registers

    Staff find an entry in seconds online, instead of searching through old books by hand.

  • Customer service handled

    Deceased Online deals with the public’s searches, orders and questions about the records, so your team does not have to.

  • Open to the public

    Families, historians and genealogists can view the public records by name, place and date, at any time.

  • A share of the revenue

    When someone pays to access one of your records, your service receives a share of that revenue.

Preservation

Your registers, safe for good

Burial and cremation registers are often the only record of who rests where, and the oldest are fragile. Each time one is lifted off the shelf to answer a question, it wears a little more.

Deceased Online digitises them once: an image of every page and the details transcribed from it. The originals can stay safely stored, and the records are ready to bring into your bereavement management system alongside today’s.

  • Fragile originals handled far less
  • A digital copy of every entry
  • Records ready for your management system

Revenue share

Income from records you already keep

Your registers already exist. On Deceased Online they also earn: each time someone pays to access one of your records, your service receives a share of that revenue.

Once the records are online, the work is done. The income continues for as long as people search them, with almost nothing for your team to do.

  • A share of every paid record request
  • No system to buy or run
  • Income from records you already hold

How it works

From your registers to online, done for you

Whatever your records are kept in today, we take the information and do the work.

  1. Step 1

    Send us what you have

    Records from Epilog Cloud, other software or spreadsheets. If they are still on paper, our sister company Manuscripti can scan and transcribe them first.

  2. Step 2

    We prepare and upload

    We check and format the information, upload it to Deceased Online with images of the register pages where you have them, and can return it ready for your management system.

  3. Step 3

    Live and searchable

    Your records can be found by name, place and date by anyone looking for a family member or researching a history.

  4. Step 4

    Earn as they are viewed

    Each paid request for one of your records earns your service its share of the revenue.

Any system

No Epilog Cloud required

Deceased Online is open to every bereavement service, whatever you use to keep your records. Councils and private organisations using other software, spreadsheets or paper registers can all take part.

We simply take the information you hold and upload it for you. If you do use Epilog Cloud, your records are already in the right shape.
