Funeral Pay

FuneralPay is a online payment processing program geared to addressing the need for more online collaboration within the funeral arrangement process. Now, more family members and even friends can make contributions directly to the cost of the funeral on the funeral home website, from wherever they may be located.

With this tool, you will be able to setup a payment center directly in the settings of your system through which anyone can search for the deceased and make a contribution to the costs of the funeral. All payments will go through the deceased’s record. If the funeral home’s admins system includes management, the contributions automatically link to the deceased Account tab as a payment entry.
If you do not already have this activated in your system and are interested, please contact us.
