Testimonials
Ferncliff Cemetery
" Ferncliff management expended considerable time and energy deciding whom it would entrust with the critical and difficult task of converting its recordkeeping from a fragmented paper system to an integrated digitized one. After conducting a two year review of virtually every integrated cemetery software system on the market, Ferncliff narrowed its choices to Axiom’s Charon Cemetery Management Suite"
Erie Cemetery Association
“In our search for a solution to meet our needs, there was only one system amongst hundreds, CHARON, that provided a completely integrated data management, mapping, and accounting system. While the support provided appears to be that or a large multinational company, Axiom also provides the very personal touch of a family owned business.”
