At CIMS, we offer a range of unique tools designed to make your cemetery management experience seamless and efficient. One standout feature is our cost updating tool, which is user-friendly and provides flexibility in cemetery plot pricing. This is a tool that allows you to select certain “Available” spaces in your cemetery and update their price without having to click on each individually.

In the digital age, safeguarding sensitive information is more critical than ever. At CIMS, we understand the importance of protecting cemetery data, ensuring it is securely stored and reliably backed up.
Burial Search is an application developed by the CIMS team to share cemetery data with the public. It is available to all CIMS clients as an add-on that allows the public to easily access and navigate a cemetery’s information via the web, a smartphone, or an on-site kiosk. When a cemetery administrator adds a new burial, or makes a change in CIMS, that information is immediately available to the public on the cemetery’s Burial Search Website. At the end of April 2024, the new CIMS Burial Search update went live for all cemeteries currently using this application.

Today, The Temple embraces modern innovations in cemetery management, notably integrating CIMS to simplify operations and uphold its commitment to honoring the memories of generations past.
One of the longstanding traditions of honoring veterans on Memorial Day is the solemn practice of placing American flags on their grave sites, a gesture that symbolizes gratitude and remembrance for their service and sacrifice. CIMS makes it easy to generate lists and maps that speed up the process and ensure accurate flag placement.
When it comes to furry friends, saying goodbye is never easy. It’s a moment that pulls at the heartstrings, leaving us with cherished memories and a profound sense of loss. Our pets, more than just animals, are integral parts of our families, sharing in the highs and lows of our lives.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an important tool for cemetery managers, offering a non-invasive and highly effective method for locating objects underground. Unlike traditional surveying techniques that may require digging and excavation, GPR allows for the detection of buried objects, including unknown burial locations, hidden artifacts, and utility lines, without disturbing the landscape.
It can be hard to manage cemetery maintenance when there are a multitude of maintenance operations for field staff to execute. Office staff needs to be able to track and manage these work orders to ensure that cemetery operations continue running smoothly.
