Families lose deeds. The original may have been filed with an attorney who retired, stored in a safe deposit box that was closed, or simply misplaced over the decades between purchase and need. When a family requests a duplicate, the cemetery must verify the requestor's relationship to the deed holder, confirm the deed's current status, and issue the duplicate with appropriate notation. CemSites cemetery deed management software makes this straightforward by surfacing the current deed, the ownership history, and the plot status from a single search.
The duplicate generated through CemSites is marked as a reissue in the system, and the event is logged in the deed history. This prevents multiple copies of an original deed from circulating without the cemetery's knowledge. CemSites turns a duplicate deed request from a records-retrieval project into a routine administrative task.
