How to Update Your CIMS Platinum Cemetery Maps with Help from the CIMS Team

Adding a New Section

When you need to add a new section to your cemetery, the first step is to gather accurate information about the new area. This can be done in one of two ways:

Working with a Professional Surveyor

Engaging a professional surveyor ensures precision and accuracy. A surveyor will provide you with a detailed, to-scale map of the new section. This map will include all necessary dimensions, boundaries, and landmarks, ensuring that every detail is accounted for.

Providing a To-Scale Sketch

If hiring a surveyor isn't feasible, you can also provide a detailed, to-scale sketch of the new section. Make sure to include all relevant measurements and landmarks to ensure the map accurately represents the new area.

Adding a Columbarium or Mausoleum

If you are adding a columbarium or mausoleum to your cemetery, the process is similar but requires additional specific information. You will need to provide a detailed layout showing the numbering of the walls and niches or crypts. Additionally, include the exact location of the columbarium or mausoleum within the cemetery. This ensures that the new structure is accurately represented in the overall map and that all interment spaces are correctly cataloged.

Incorporating New Sections into Your CIMS Maps

Once you have the detailed information about the new section, the next step is to send it over to us at CIMS. Here's how we incorporate your new section into the existing maps:
