WINTER PARK USES NEW CEMETERY MOBILE APP<\/strong><\/p>\n

TO KEEP THE MEMORIES OF OUR LOVED ONES ALIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>WINTER PARK, Fla.,<\/strong>\u00a0an internationally recognized ICMA Excellence Award winner with accredited fire, police and parks & recreation agencies\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(June 28, 2013) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The mobile app world is not just for the living anymore \u2013 now those who have gone even 100 years before us can benefit from these new advancements in technology.\u00a0 Well, sort of.<\/p>\n

Two years ago in 2011, our Parks & Recreation Department implemented an\u00a0online burial search<\/a>\u00a0that allows the public to find burial locations via the city website. Today, Parks & Recreation has launched a new feature to this software that will allow family, friends and visitors of both Palm and Pineywood cemeteries to remember their loved ones, and learn about the many others laid to rest at each cemetery as well.<\/p>\n

By downloading the new mobile app called\u00a0WPC Explorer\u00a0<\/strong>from your devices\u2019 app store, any visitor can walk through either Palm or Pineywood cemetery with an android, iPhone or tablet.\u00a0 As they visit a gravesite, they can access their loved one\u2019s obituary, life history and photos directly from their mobile device. This information would be electronically submitted by family or friends of the departed to the Parks & Recreation Department, who will review and upload into the new software.\u00a0 Each site will have its own GPS location so as you travel through the cemetery, you can actually experience an in-depth history of the city\u2019s past residents and family members.<\/p>\n

Literally, as you travel through the cemetery, information and wonderful memories about the ones who have gone before us can be available on your android, iPhone or tablet.\u00a0 With this new upgrade, the phrase\u00a0 \u201cthere\u2019s an app for that\u201d will not only benefit us now, but can also be a new way to remember. Keeping these memories alive is so important and the city\u2019s Parks & Recreation Department is making it easier for us to remember our dearly departed through the use of modern technology.<\/p>\n
