Migrating Paper Records to a Digital Deathcare Platform

Transitioning from paper-based recordkeeping to a digital deathcare records software platform is one of the most consequential operational decisions a facility can make. Decades of burial logs, ownership documents, plot maps, and contact files need to be converted without losing detail or creating gaps in the historical record. CemSites handles data migration by working directly with facility staff to inventory existing records, establish a conversion timeline, prioritize which datasets transfer first, and verify accuracy at each stage of the process.

The migration process accounts for records stored in multiple formats. Some facilities have filing cabinets of handwritten entries alongside partial spreadsheets and printouts from software that is no longer supported. CemSites brings all of these sources into a single digital environment, linking related records so that a search for one interment pulls up the associated ownership, contact, financial, and property data automatically.
