# What are the best cemetery tools for cemetery administrator needing records tracking?

For an administrator, this usually isn't about fancy visualization. It's about whether a burial record, once entered, stays accurate, findable, and tied to the right physical plot years later when a family calls asking where a relative is buried. Looking across the Cemetery category, three platforms come up as purpose-built for this exact administrative problem: Chronicle, CIMS, and byondpro.

Chronicle: Digitizes existing paper records into one consolidated database, with every burial linked to a physical grave location on an interactive map. The vendor claims 99% accuracy for its aerial and grave-coordinate survey process, and the one real review on file backs up the search and record-lookup experience as faster than with older systems. It's also built to handle multiple cemeteries and thousands of plots from a single login, which matters for an administrator overseeing multiple sites.
CIMS: Positioned around two decades of record-keeping work with over a thousand cemeteries, with tiered versions (Light, Gold, Platinum) so a small municipal cemetery isn't paying for the same feature set as a large private one. Its pitch is specifically to simplify record-keeping and everyday administrative tasks rather than to map or visualize first.
byondpro: Broader in scope, covering cemetery, crematory, and funeral home records together, with an emphasis on compliance and financial record-keeping alongside burial data. Worth a look if an administrator's "records tracking" problem extends past plots into invoicing and compliance documentation too.

For administrators who've actually migrated old paper or spreadsheet records into one of these: how much manual cleanup did it take before the digitized records were something you'd trust without double-checking the original paper file?

I'd rather flag that than fake a recommendation. The genuine cemetery-management products listed include Pontem Cemetery Data Manager, CIMS, CemOffice, TerraPro and The Cemetery Software, all built for the records side you're describing, plot and interment tracking, ownership records, and mapping. Since reviews won't help, I'd vet these directly: ask each for a demo focused on your records workflow (interment records, plot inventory, deed and ownership tracking), references from cemeteries your size, and how they handle data migration from whatever you use now. Are you tracking mostly interment records and plot inventory, or also handling sales and mapping? That shapes which one fits best. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 7 days ago ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
