Every death means a stack of paperwork.
Not one of those forms should need the same information typed twice.

The whole case
Everything a case needs, in one place
Stop re-typing the same details into ten forms. Solace holds the whole case — and keeps you ahead of every legal deadline.
Compliance deadlines, tracked
Every permit and certificate carries its legal deadline. Anything due within three days turns amber, within one day red — and the assigned director gets an email every morning. Missing a filing is a legal problem, not an inconvenience.

AI that drafts, never decides
A warm, factual obituary draft from the case details in seconds — and death certificate fields mapped for review. The AI never invents a fact, never sends, never files. Your name goes on it, so you approve every word.
Drafting from case details…
She kept a garden that outlived every frost, and taught
Staff reviews before anything sends
Paid without the phone calls
Itemized goods & services invoices the family pays online through Stripe. No chasing cheques during the hardest week of their lives — and the money lands in your account.
Memorial pages, automatically
A shareable page with the obituary, photos, a donation link, and a guestbook you moderate — created with every case, published when you say so.
How it works
Three steps. One case. Zero re-typing.
01
Open the case on the first call
Deceased details, the family's next of kin, disposition type. Solace numbers the case, seeds the intake checklist, and mints a private family link before you hang up.
- Case number assigned automatically
- 10-step intake checklist seeded
- Family portal link ready to send
02
Let the paperwork keep itself on schedule
Add each permit and certificate with its legal deadline. The dashboard turns amber at three days, red at one, and emails the assigned director every morning until it's filed.
- Deadline alerts before they bite
- Death certificate fields auto-mapped
- Obituary drafted for your review
03
Send one link. The family does the rest
They read the service details, e-sign what needs signing, approve the obituary, and pay the invoice — from their phone, at 11pm, without a single call to your office.
- E-signatures captured and dated
- Invoice paid securely online
- Memorial page live when you publish
Honestly compared
The big platforms aren't built for you
FrontRunner, Passare and Gather are capable systems — designed and priced for multi-location groups with staff to run them. If you are two directors and a spreadsheet, that's the wrong tool.

Trust
You hold families' worst day. We hold it carefully.
Names, dates of death, next of kin, signed authorizations — this is the most sensitive data a small business ever touches. It's protected at the database level, not by hoping the app asks the right question.
Isolated per funeral home
Row-level security in the database means one home's cases are unreachable from another's session. Not a filter in the app — a rule in Postgres.
Family links expire and revoke
Each family gets a signed link scoped to exactly one case. Regenerate it and the old one dies instantly. No account, no password to leak.
Documents stay private
Uploaded certificates and permits live in a private bucket. Every view is a fresh, short-lived signed URL — never a public address.
AI never sees more than it needs
Drafts are generated from case facts, reviewed by staff, and never auto-sent or auto-filed. We don't train on your families' data.
Built around the work
What funeral directors tell us they want
Product goals from conversations with independent homes — not invented reviews.
Stop re-typing the same case ten times
One arrangement record that feeds obituaries, permits, invoices, and the family portal — so arrangers get afternoons back.
Let families sign and pay from their phone
Fewer phone-tag loops for documents and balances — clearer handoffs, stronger referral potential.
AI that drafts; directors who decide
Obituary assistance that starts a draft you edit and the family approves — never something that ships unchecked.
