The management of Islamic cemeteries is a social requirement that needs to be implemented in Malaysia community especially among Muslims. The cemetery management system is particularly inadequate because of the current rapid development and a high number of deaths in specific urban areas. This circumstance has produced several concerns, including the lack of an orderly death record and the non-uniform arrangement of grave sites, all of which contribute to the lack of a cemetery. Therefore, the emerging demands in creating the Muslim cemetery management system are highly significant. The Muslim Graveyard Management System (MGMS) was created using a combination of Geographical Information System (GIS), aerial imagery and the used of Survey123 Mobile Apps technologies. This study focuses on the development of GIS and web-based systems to assist authorities in managing funeral records more effectively. The study was also conducted to assist the deceased’s heirs in identifying the location of their family graves. This system is well equipped with a search function that can provide information of the deceased by using an Internet browser. In addition, the use of quick response code (QR code) in this IGMS system allows various types of information to be directly accessible and easily generated with fast-reading accuracy. Consequently, this study has foreseen the practicality and potential of this MGMS system through a conducted case study at the Islamic cemetery, Bukit Kiara Kuala Lumpur.
