Managing Plot Reservations and Holds
in Cemetery Inventory Systems

Reservations and holds remove plots from available inventory without completing a sale. A family that reserves a plot during an arrangement conference may confirm within days or hold for months. A section held for development may stay in that status for years. CemSites cemetery plot inventory software tracks these as distinct status categories with their own aging reports, so the cemetery can monitor how long inventory has been tied up.

The aging report flags reservations exceeding a configurable threshold, prompting the office to contact the family and either confirm or release the plot. Without that prompt, stale reservations accumulate unnoticed and reduce effective selling capacity. CemSites surfaces them automatically.
