CemSites supports configurable retention schedules that reflect the document-specific requirements of the mortuary’s jurisdiction. Different document types carry different retention periods, and a facility operating across state lines may need to manage multiple schedules simultaneously. The platform tracks retention timelines at the document level and alerts administrators when records approach their destruction eligibility date, so retention compliance does not depend on anyone remembering to check a calendar or a spreadsheet.
The platform also documents the authorized destruction of eligible records, which gives the mortuary a defensible lifecycle process. Keeping every record indefinitely because no one is certain what can be destroyed creates storage costs and data management overhead that compound annually. CemSites provides the framework to manage that lifecycle with confidence, retaining what the law requires and clearing what it permits, with a documented trail for every decision.
