Deeds

What is a deed

We understand most cemeteries don't issue deeds, they issue rights of burial. For the purposes of brevity, CIMS documentation will use the term "deed".

Create a deed when one or multiple spaces has been purchased as recognition of the sale; once created, you can generate a deed document directly from CIMS or upload media, such as an image of a deed originally recorded on paper or in a log book, to the deed.

Create a deed

To create a deed for one or more spaces, the spaces will first need to be sold. See the page Selling spaces & more.

Navigate to one of the spaces you want to create the deed for, either by clicking on it on the map or loading its information in the right-hand flyout another way. Click the Deed tab in the right-hand flyout.
The need type is a required field; all other fields are optional, though we recommend adding the deed date and purchase cost if you have that information. Click "Save".
A popup will appear asking which spaces this deed applies to. You can pick one or multiple spaces simultaneously. Click "Save".
Your deed has been created! If it is attached to multiple spaces, you will see those spaces listed.

Select one of the spaces you want to add a deed to and click the Deed tab. Fill in the information for the deed and click "Save".
Choose which space or spaces to attach the deed to. In this case, we are attaching the deed to all spaces owned by the space's owner. Click "Save".
The saved deed will clearly display which spaces are attached to it.

Edit a deed

When removing a deed from multiple spaces, you will have the option to remove it from one or all spaces.

Changing deed information

Click on the space whose deed you want to edit. Alternatively, open the space in the right-hand flyout using another method, such as the List or Search tab. Click on the Deed tab. Edit the fields you want to change by clicking on them and typing in them. When ready, click "Update".

Adding an existing deed to a space

To add a deed to a space, you will need to delete the deed, then re-create and attach it to the appropriate spaces.

Remove a space from an existing deed

Click the red "Remove deed" button. If this deed is attached to multiple spaces, you will see options to remove the deed from one or all spaces. Click "Cancel remove deed" if you change your mind and don't want to make changes to what spaces this deed is attached to.

Delete a deed

To remove a deed, click the red "Remove deed" button.

To delete a deed, open its information in the right-hand flyout then click the red "Remove deed" button. If the deed is only attached to one space, click "Ok" in the confirmation popup. If the deed is attached to multiple spaces, click the red "Remove" button next to the option that reads "from all its assigned spaces". Click "Ok" in the confirmation popup. The deed has now been deleted.
