Cemetery Information Management System (CIMS)

Cemeteries have traditionally maintained all owner and burial information in ledger books, on note cards and on paper maps. Most cemeteries continue to rely on these antiquated paper documents as their sole source of information.

Searching through file cabinets full of paperwork can be extremely time consuming and costly. In addition, these hard copy documents are subject to loss and destruction, either by human error or natural disaster.

Some cemeteries have converted their information into electronic databases format but do not have a mapping component that can graphically display this information in a standard map format. As we know, it can be very difficult to visualize information from a database, but a picture is worth a thousand words!

Rapid querying of available, reserved and sold spaced by name and/or location—results will display the database records as highlighted graphical features on the map. This information can be viewed and printed in report or map form. CIMS

Some questions to consider

Does it take you or your staff longer than five minutes to access and update information?
Have you ever lost important information when a key employee left or retired?
Do you wish you could access and update your information but feel you don’t have the time or know-how?

From your file cabinets to your fingertips with a click of a mouse. CIMS uses state-of-the-art GIS (Geographic Information System) technology to link all of your data to a digital map to efficiently and effectively manage your cemetery.
