CemSites tracks the status of every required authorization document within the cremation case file, from the signed cremation authorization from next of kin through the death certificate, medical examiner or coroner release where required, and any facility-specific forms the crematory uses. Each document carries a status indicator, whether it is pending, received, or verified, and the system prevents the case from advancing to the active cremation queue until all required authorizations are complete. Staff can see at a glance which incoming cases have full documentation and which are waiting on a specific item.
This gatekeeping function protects the crematory from the regulatory and legal consequences of performing a cremation on incomplete authorization. CemSites moves the compliance check to the earliest possible point in the workflow, where a missing document is a solvable administrative task, not a crisis that delays a scheduled cremation or, worse, goes undetected until after the cremation has been performed.
