CIMS

CIMS is a database-driven information management system for cemeteries. Its maps refresh whenever a new burial is entered, so the records and the layout of the grounds stay aligned without extra work.

What CIMS offers

• Cemetery database — burial and plot records kept in one place.
• Automatic maps — maps update with each new entry.
• Several versions — different editions to match the size and needs of a cemetery.
• Ease of use — described by the vendor as user-friendly for staff.

Who it works with

Municipal cemeteries, those run by religious organisations, independent operators and corporations. The vendor says its programs manage over 1,000 cemeteries in the United States and abroad.
