The Ultimate Cemetery Solution

PastView and History Associates Incorporated (HAI) are modernizing the way cemeteries and memorial parks preserve, manage, and share vital records. HAI brings decades of experience supporting cultural institutions, government agencies, and cemeteries across the United States with professional archival services, records management, and historical expertise.

Combined with PastView’s secure digital publishing platform, PastView Chronicle, this proven approach enables organizations to organize, digitize, and provide access to burial, interment, cremation, and cemetery map records with confidence and accuracy.

Staff can quickly search and retrieve records through an intuitive system, while original paper records are protected from permanent loss or damage caused by fire, flooding, theft, or everyday handling. Families, researchers, and communities also benefit from improved access to cemetery records, helping preserve local heritage for future generations.
