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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
Send the surveyor's map or a to-scale sketch to our team for a quote. You can email it to: cims@ramaker.com. We will review the provided information and prepare a proposal detailing the scope of work, timeline, and cost for integrating the new section into your existing maps.
Upon approval of the proposal, our skilled team will start the integration process. We use advanced GIS (Geographic Information System) technology to accurately update your CIMS Platinum cemetery maps, ensuring that the new section seamlessly fits into the existing map.
