Why FuneralHQ should be the baseline for an independent firm
A broader suite can list more modules. FuneralHQ concentrates on the work an independent funeral home completes every day, keeps the economics clear, and gives operators direct access to the people building the product.
Published, predictable pricing
$250 per location, per month, with unlimited users, cases, and e-signatures on the Platform plan. The same model applies at every location.
A direct path for missing workflows
Bring the exact requirement to the demo. The team building FuneralHQ will separate what ships today from configuration, integration, or development and give you a concrete answer on fit and timing.
What to test after the FuneralHQ baseline
When Gather deserves a close test
Firms that require a website, livestream, and body tracking from the same vendor should test those bundled workflows directly.
Why FuneralHQ remains the baseline
FuneralHQ keeps the case, documents, payments, and QuickBooks in one connected system with clear pricing for independent and growing firms.
How to choose
Decide whether public-facing tools like websites and livestream are central to your purchase, then weigh that against back-office and accounting needs.

Does FuneralHQ publish obituaries or build full websites?
FuneralHQ can publish an approved public obituary from the case today. Full website hosting, livestreaming, and memorial commerce are still in development.
Does FuneralHQ sync with QuickBooks?
