Tallahassee, Fla. – Funeral Services, Inc., a preneed and perpetual care trust administrator and contract record-keeper, and CemSites, a cemetery management technology company, are pleased to announce their partnership, which allows death care professionals to streamline cemetery operations. Clients of both companies will benefit from enhanced access to customizable and full-service solutions that utilize the latest tools and technology for perpetual care trust and cemetery management.

FSI trust systems will automatically sync with CemSites’ AR Finance Module, part of the company’s secure cemetery customer relationship management software. The program will now streamline both the trust and receivables processes. The module will also feature contract automation, advanced customizable reporting, and dispute management.

“FSI is committed to providing solutions that empower our clients to manage and grow their businesses while ensuring regulatory compliance,” said Bill Williams, president and CEO of FSI. “Whether developing or sourcing these tools, incorporating advanced technologies remains a critical tactic in offering value-added preneed and perpetual care trust services.”

FSI and CemSites have demonstrated a commitment to developing and launching new products and services that help professionals sustain the value of a cemetery and preneed program. FSI developed paramount software for preneed contract management and solutions to ensure regulatory compliance, endowment and disbursement documentation completion, and the industry’s quickest turnaround of disbursement requests. Understanding the need for enhanced mobility, FSI launched an iPad app that generates error-free contracts for trust-funded preneed programs in 2013.

Founded in 2012, CemSites provides customers with a full-service solution with a customizable user dashboard, which has more than 15 modules including online gravesite mapping, record keeping, website creation and cemetery management. Together, the companies’ respective technologies offer robust, forward-thinking solutions that benefit both death care professionals and their clients.

“With the partnership between our company and FSI, our clients will have access to seamless and innovative software to manage every aspect of a cemetery in one place,” said Scott McAfee, co- owner of CemSites. “This is one way our company embraces the values of heritage and perpetual care – values every community should expect from its cemetery.”
