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 Passare deserves a close test
Firms that put family and team collaboration at the center of the arrangement process should test that workflow 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
List the workflows you run weekly, then ask each vendor to show those exact steps on a real case. Fit matters more than feature counts.
Common questions
Is Passare a good product?
Yes. Passare is a real funeral management platform with a strong collaboration focus. The right choice depends on which workflows matter most to your firm.
How does FuneralHQ handle e-signatures?
E-signatures are unlimited with no per-signature fee, and signed copies are stored on the case automatically.
Does FuneralHQ sync with QuickBooks?
Yes, with QuickBooks Online, so invoices, payments, and customer records flow without retyping. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported.
Can we migrate our data?
Yes. We help with migration in the first week, and you can export your data at any time.
Judge the two on one of your own cases
Bring a real case and we run it end to end in 20 minutes. You will see exactly where the collaboration stops and the record begins, which is the whole of the difference between these two products.
