Change your on UPDATE trigger function to:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION crm_update_deleted_p() RETURNS
TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
IF (NEW.deleted = 1) THEN
INSERT INTO crm_deleted VALUES (NEW.*);
DELETE FROM crm_active WHERE crmid = NEW.crmid;
RETURN NULL; -- so that that trigger doesn't proceed
with UPDATE on crm_active table
ELSE
RETURN (NEW.*);
END IF;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
