TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Parks and Cemetery Agency plans to introduce cemetery online services. The online system will be tested in November at Karet Bivak Cemetery (TPU).
“We will test it next month,” said Jakarta Parks and Cemetery Agency chief Nandar Sunandar on Wednesday.
The online system will make it easier for people to gain access to cemetery services. “People will be able to see which cemetery is available,” he said.
The system can also help officers in data collection to better handle the current overlap burial system. "The overlap burial system is only for bodies with blood or family relations," he said.
If the trial is successful, the system will be implemented at 78 TPUs in the capital. Nandar added the system would not be available for cash transactions. "All services are online, and so is the payment," he said.
