Case Study: Clemson University preserves Woodland Cemetery history and improves operations with CIMS Cemetery Software

Clemson University maps Woodland Cemetery in under 2 years with CIMS Cemetery Software

Clemson University faced the challenge of modernizing its historically significant Woodlawn Cemetery, which contains hundreds of unmarked graves and a complex mix of documented and undocumented burial sites. They needed a respectful and accurate way to digitally document and manage the entire site, and they selected CIMS Cemetery Software to meet this need.

CIMS implemented its Platinum system, integrating Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data to locate unknown graves and create a reliable digital inventory. The solution provided a mapped, searchable system that improved operational accuracy for interments and, with accessibility improvements to its Burial Search add-on, made records available to a broader audience. CIMS helped Clemson successfully preserve the cemetery's important history while streamlining its day-to-day management.
