Cemetery Definition

In CeMS you can manage multiple cemeteries and you can also nominate multiple sections to exist in each cemetery. Cemeteries, sections and interments can all be created at any time. Each cemetery or section is known by its name.

The management windows allow you to visually see all interments in a section in a cemetery. You do not have to create each interment. If you register a burial or booking against an interment that does not exist, CeMS will create it for you. You can hook photos to a cemetery, section or interment.

Reporting

CeMS contains a powerful reporting component, that not only generates reports, but can be used to answer complex queries. In order to generate a report you must fill in some of the optional criteria that will generate the answer to the query. For instance, when generating reports about burials, you can elect to enter the name of the deceased or cemetery or funeral director or burial date or a combination of the above.

In CeMS, reports can be produced in either summary or full detail form. The full detail report is applicable for giving to customers. The summary report is more beneficial for querys such as counting the number of burials a particular funeral director has serviced in the last six months in a particular cemetery.

Attachments

CeMS has the ability to record shortcuts to any file type and display those files in their native viewing software. This makes it handy to be able to open a document, a photo, spreadsheet for the one person without having to trawl through network drives. You can attach files to people, burials, bookings, plaques, cemeteries, sections and interments.

There is also integration with ADI DataWorks for document management, and OpenOffice.org Writer and Microsoft Word for document generation. You can populate template documents with values entered in CeMS saving you time when generating letters.

Funeral Directors and Plaque Makers

You can keep track of all your plaque makers you use, and funeral directors that have looked after burials in your cemeteries. This information is important because they can then be referenced against burials and plaque orders.

Referencing these people helps to answer questions such as when a funeral director asks "How many burials have I performed in your cemetery in the last 12 months?"

Other Contacts

You can use CeMS to also keep contact details on those people keen to the day-to-day running of a cemetery. You can keep contact details on Stone Masons, Sextons, Gardeners, Florists and Bronze Engravers.

CeMS Configurations

In CeMS you fully control all the options that appears through out the dialogs. You are given a list of options where you can add, edit and delete these configuration items. These values are also stored in the database, so they can be built up once and only adjusted when required.

CeMS is delivered with a pre-configured list of settings.
