Intelligent Automation for Compassionate Death Care

Eliminate the administrative burden of first calls and obituary coordination. Let your directors focus on families while our AI handles the logistics.

In the death care industry, a missed first call isn't just a lost lead; it's a family in crisis left without support and a potential $10,000 revenue loss for your firm. Funeral directors are stretched thin, managing 24/7 on-call shifts while juggling the administrative complexities of the FTC Funeral Rule and state-specific licensing requirements. Many firms still rely on manual data entry across disconnected platforms like Passare, SRS Computing, or Osiris, which increases the margin for error during the sensitive arrangement process. Read Laboratories implements automation that bridges these silos. By synchronizing your case management software with automated scheduling and digital consent triggers, we ensure that your firm remains responsive, compliant, and focused on service rather than paperwork. Whether it's managing the $7,000 average cost of a traditional service or securing $5,000+ pre-need contracts, our systems ensure no detail is overlooked.

Problems We Solve

24/7 First Call Bottlenecks

Third-party answering services often miss critical data. We automate the intake process, instantly parsing call details into your SRS or Passare system and alerting on-call directors via SMS.

Obituary Coordination Delays

Stop chasing families for photos and bios. Our automated workflows collect life stories through secure portals and push formatted drafts to your website and local newspapers simultaneously.

FTC Compliance Risks

Ensure every family receives the General Price List (GPL) and signs embalming consents digitally. Our system logs every disclosure, protecting your firm from heavy regulatory fines.

Pre-Need Lead Leakage

Capture pre-need inquiries from your site and automatically book them into a counselor's calendar, ensuring high-value pre-plan opportunities never go cold.

Manual Aftercare Follow-up

Maintain family relationships without the manual effort. We automate 30, 60, and 90-day check-ins, providing grief resources and subtle reminders for headstone services.
