Bereavement Services Manager

The mapping done so far is fantastic and from what we have seen so far of the system it will greatly improve our service so much for the better.

Bereavement Care Manager 

The ability to draw statistics straight from the records in great detail. The adaptability of the software and the fact we can continue to amend and improve our records used.

Family Resources Manager

The software we used before was very dated and this change make a huge difference for them. The help desk is very friendly and very patient when you need help.

Office Administrator

Easy to use, you can decide how much or how little information you would like to add. The mapping portion of the software is great, and easy to navigate.

Executive Director

The personal service is standard setting. Before you ball at the price imagine hiring a tech team who are at your disposal 24/7 to help with ANYTHING- it’s amazing.

Business Technology Support Manager

We liked that the package could be tailored for our specific needs. We’ve really appreciated the mapping and data verification service that we wouldn’t have been able to get from any other supplier.

Officer

I seem to forget to enter the year 1st. Also I prefer the system to  save automatically a draft of my work in case I am interrupted and fail to do so prior to leaving my office.

You are paying for GREAT PEOPLE & a GREAT PRODUCT.

Media Coordinator and IT Specialist

Navigating between modules is intuitive, even for those without a technical background. The search function is powerful and efficient, and the clean design makes onboarding new staff simple and quick.

Marketing and Visitor Services Team Leader

Sometimes seems to be several ways to do the same task and can be confusing at first to remember which way is preferable.

memorials officer

Sometimes doesnt show all bookings which can be quite frustrating when we have double booked when 1 booking hasnt shown up.

Program Coordinator

I feel like every time we have a training/customer service call I really learn something new and about some cool feature.

Bereavement Services Manager and Registrar

The fact every grave has a Row, we do not use Rows in our plotting except in one cemetery. I would gladly lose the Row# in a heartbeat.

Administrative Assistant

User friendly, easy access to scheduling and records.

Sales Manager

For the most part it is user friendly. Plotting of property and integration to a contract.

President

Less time meeting with families, recording records, researching historical information. In short... makes our job so much easier... and saves money.

Executive Secretary

We have taken pictures of the headstones and save them with the burial information. The customer support is outstanding.

Clerk

It is a continued good experience. If I ever need help, they are there to assist, and there are periodic updates and training I can take advantage of.

Cemetery Sexton

CIMS is a wonderful tool with great customer service. I have recommended it to other cemeteries that have made contact with us.

Volunteer Cemetery Database Manager

CIMS has a great mapping program and it was a great help in helping me organize and enter data. I basically had to do a headstone by headstone inventory.

Finance Manager

I love that we can categorize all of our burials online and have them permanently saved.

Overall it has been very good. We like having the ease looking everything up on the computer and showing clients the cemetery online versus pulling out old, large, clunky maps.

secretary

I really enjoy the ease of cataloguing the cemetery and the ability to add photos, documents and other notes in to CIMS.

Cemetery Administrator

They are very knowledgeable of their product. They are very determined to resolve any issues that may arise.

Business Manager

This software is easy to use and the mapping component is wonderful.

We have been very pleased with the ease of use and functionality. We no longer keep paper records.

Cemetery Supervisor

User friendly, great help when you do have a problem, the maping is so good.

Secretary

I am very hard pressed to come up with something that has been an issue to date with the CIMS program.

Office Manager

I no longer can enter that and cannot find a way to add. This to the religion list.

Before you could just go to a Block click on the burial and go from lot to lot without it going back to the owner.

District Manager

Our CIMS Platinum software can be as simple or as complex as we want. The operations make sense and our maze of cemetery maps were integrated flawlessly.

At one time I added to the religion list the word "Other" to note that. This  person's funeral service was done in a funeral home chapel or at.
