Pet cremation support, being built with the firms that do the work

Pet aftercare is one of the fastest-growing parts of deathcare, and many funeral homes now offer it alongside their human services. We are building pet cremation support into FuneralHQ: owner and pet records, cremation authorizations, and billing, designed with firms that run this work every week. It is in development, and this page says so plainly.

Who we are building it for

  • Funeral homes adding pet cremation as a service
  • Firms that take referrals from local veterinary clinics
  • Operators with their own cremation equipment and capacity
  • Teams that want pet cases organized, not on a separate spreadsheet

What it is designed to replace

  • A separate spreadsheet or logbook for pet cases
  • Paper cremation authorization forms
  • Manual invoices for pet services
  • Guesswork about which pet is at which stage

What we are building

The design goal is simple: pet work deserves the same connected record as the rest of the building, without pretending a pet case is a human case.

  1. 01

    A pet case with its own shape

    The design records the owner, the pet, the referring clinic if there is one, and the type of cremation requested, as its own kind of case rather than a human case with the labels changed.

  2. 02

    Authorizations signed from home

    FuneralHQ e-signature is live today, and the pet design uses it: the cremation authorization goes out as a secure signing link and the signed copy stores with the record.

  3. 03

    Payment against the case

    Payment links and payment plans are live today, and pet billing is being designed to post against the pet case the same way.

  4. 04

    Books that stay clean

    Invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online today, and pet service billing is being designed to flow the same way, without retyping.

  5. 05

    Designed with pet aftercare firms

    We are building this with firms that handle pet work daily, so the record matches how a clinic referral, a pickup, and a return of remains actually run.

The design goals for pet cases

What the finished work is being held to, stated so you can hold us to it too.

Owner and pet records

Owner contacts and pet details stored together, ready for follow-up or a return visit.

Vet referral tracking

The referring clinic on the record, so you know where each pet came from and which clinics send you work.

Signed authorizations

Cremation authorizations by e-signature, with the signed copy stored automatically.

Payments and balances

Card and ACH against the pet case, with the balance visible to staff.

Kept apart from at-need work

Pet cases as their own kind of case, so pet volume never muddies your human case reporting.

QuickBooks Online sync

Pet service invoices and payments flowing to your books like the rest of your work.

Common questions

Is pet cremation support live in FuneralHQ today?

Not yet. It is in development. The e-signature, payments, and QuickBooks Online foundations it builds on are live, but dedicated pet cases are not, and we would rather say so than sell a menu item that does not exist.

How can our firm shape what gets built?

Join the design program. Show us how your pet work runs today, from clinic referral to return of remains, and we will build the pet case record against it and keep you posted as it ships.
