FuneralHQ

Connects to the tools your office already runs on

What matters is not the logo, it is what actually moves. From QuickBooks and payments to calendars and EDRS, here is everything FuneralHQ connects to and automates, with what data syncs and which direction it goes.

25 connections and automations across your whole workflow.

Accounts you connect

  • QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, for invoices, payments, and customers
  • Stripe, for card and ACH on the case
  • Google Calendar, for services and staff schedules
  • No direct EDRS, Xero, Outlook, or Zapier connection is sold as live

Most take a few minutes from settings and do not need IT. Everything else on this page is an automation or a form we fill from the case, not an account you link.

Who FuneralHQ works with

Three different kinds of relationship, kept apart on purpose. A grid that mixes them is how a firm ends up surprised in its second month.

Connected accounts

You authorize these in settings. After that, supported data moves through the connection.

  • QuickBooks Online and DesktopInvoices, payments, and customer records, synced with QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.
  • StripeCard, ACH, deposits, and payment plans posted against the case balance as they clear.
  • Google CalendarService times, viewings, and appointments on the calendars staff already check.

Recorded on the case or contract

These are records and prepared documents, not connected vendor accounts. FuneralHQ does not submit to the outside company on your behalf.

  • Insurance carriers and assignment companiesPolicy details and a signed assignment packet remain on the contract; staff submits through the company’s required channel.
  • Preneed carriersCarrier, policy, contract, values, funding status, and at-need conversion remain on the preneed record.

In development

These connections are not available today.

  • XeroA future accounting connection. QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop are available today.
  • Microsoft 365 and OutlookA future calendar connection. Google Calendar is available today.

Plus more as firms ask for them. If your office runs something that is not listed here, raise it on the demo. What customers request is how we decide what to connect next.

AI and automation

The repetitive work FuneralHQ takes off the desk, with staff in control of every consequential action.

First call and answering service

A first call reaches the sheet three ways: staff type it, the assistant takes it, or your answering service sends it, by direct feed or by email intake. Ask which services are connected.

AI phone answeringSetup requiredAn assistant answers when staff cannot, pages the on-call director, and leaves a draft first call sheet with the recording and transcript. Set up per location with your phone number.
Answering service email intakeSetup requiredOur team sets up an intake address. A first call your answering service emails you arrives as a draft first call sheet for staff to review.
Answering service direct feedAvailable nowFirst calls arrive from an answering service by direct feed, each as a draft first call sheet for a person to confirm. Ask which services are connected.

How a connection works

Set it up once, then it runs in the background.

  1. 01

    Connect once

    Authorize QuickBooks, payments, or your calendar from settings. Most connections take a few minutes and do not need IT.

  2. 02

    Map it to your setup

    Match your accounts, items, and locations so synced data lands where you expect it the first time.

  3. 03

    Work the case as usual

    From then on, invoices, payments, and service times move automatically as you run the case. There is nothing extra to remember.

Integration questions

Which QuickBooks editions do you support?

QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. FuneralHQ syncs invoices, payments, and customer records, so nothing is entered twice. It also includes a built-in general ledger, payroll, and trust accounting, so a firm can keep its books in FuneralHQ or in QuickBooks. Tell us which edition you run and we will show that sync on the demo.

Do you connect to my state EDRS?

Direct EDRS submission is not available today. FuneralHQ prepares case documents, stores returned files, and tracks certificate and filing milestones while staff uses the state system. Direct connections remain in development.

Can I take insurance assignments and preneed funding?

FuneralHQ records the insurer and policy on a preneed contract, generates an assignment of benefits, sends it to the policy owner for e-signature, and records the signed date. Staff still submits the completed package through the carrier or funder’s required channel and verifies claim status there.

Can I import from my current software?

General Price List rows can be previewed and imported through the product. Case and contact migration is team-led during onboarding: we map an agreed export from your current system, load it, and verify the result with you. FuneralHQ does not currently advertise a self-service public API or Zapier connection.
