The digi- tal whiteboards are designed to replace the funeral home’s need for a daily schedule posted on a whiteboard. Passare is the funeral pro- fession’s only funeral home collaboration system with integrated case manage- ment. Through Passare, fu- neral directors can connect and communicate with families, other team mem- bers, and even other loca- tions throughout the funeral planning process. As part of the software solution, Pas- sare offers a robust cloud- based case management platform with unlimited us- ers, unlimited devices, 24/7 access to customer support, and now, customizable dig- ital dashboards with up-to- the-minute information on every case, available any- time, anywhere. “One of the frustrations that funeral directors have with the whiteboard sched- ule is that you can’t take it with you,” said Jay Thom- as, CEO of Passare. “Most funeral directors have to take a picture of the white- board every day, but if any- thing changes throughout the day, it just becomes a headache for everyone. Pas- sare’s digital whiteboards completely remove the need for a physical whiteboard. Customized dashboards for every team can be accessed on any device, at any time, which keeps everyone on the same page.” With Passare, funeral home owners can create cus- tom dashboard views for each team, from adminis- trators to funeral directors, to prep room staff. Dash- boards can then be shared with each team member ac- cording to their roles. “Funeral home owners can set up custom displays for every area of the funeral home based on hundreds of data points within Passare,” said Thomas. “This feature will also give those who manage the funeral home more visibility into day to day processes. More and more of the homes we talk to want to be able to moni- tor their processes and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Passare is the only system in the funer- al profession with process monitoring capabilities.” New Team Calendar Feature The Team Calendar fea- ture offers a calendar view of all funeral home and staff- related events. “Our new Team Calen- dar feature makes it easy to view what is going on at the funeral home at any given time,” said Thomas. “The system automatically pulls data from cases to create a calendar of events, which can be viewed by day, week, and month, as well as a list view.” With the new Team Cal- endar feature, Passare cli- ents can also add staff-relat- ed events such as vacations, on-call staff, appointments, team meetings, and much more. “The Team Calendar was a frequent request from our clients,” said Chris Ba- ber, vice president and chief product officer at Passare. “With all of our features, our plan is to continue to devel- op and improve this feature over time. Our goal at Pas- sare is to create the best-in- class experience for our fu- neral home customers and the families they serve. This feature is helping our clients manage their operations more smoothly and keep ev- eryone updated and on the same page about what is go- ing on at the funeral home.” Passare features a variety of integrations with some of the funeral profession’s leading providers such as ASD, CFS, funeralOne, Messenger, Frazer Con- sultants, Bass-Mollett, Federated, Funeral Direc- tors Life, and many more, which allows funeral profes- sionals to save time, stream- line processes, and collabo- rate as a team on cases.

Passare ® Releases Digital Whiteboards and New Team Calendar Feature CLEVELAND,OH— National Mor- tuary Shipping and Cremation , the nation’s oldest continuously owned shipping firm, has launched a new campaign to help funeral homes edu- cate their families about their ability to help them with out-of-town deaths. When a grieving family turns to you and your funeral home for help, they expect you to have all of the an- swers. It’s not every day that your fu- neral home has to return a body from abroad or handle the cremation of a body many miles away. NMS handles those scenarios every day, and has de- veloped marketing materials for fu- neral homes to give to their families to help educate and comfort them when they have a loved one who dies away from home. Diane Smith , CEO of NMS stated, “We feel it is important to give back to the industry that has done so much for us. This is why we designed bro- chures that funeral homes can give to their families when they have questions about an out-of-town death. We spe- cifically designed these brochures so the attention is given directly to the funeral home. The family knows their funeral home of choice can handle all their out of town needs.” For more information or to receive your free family brochures please call 800-321-0185 or email your request to info@natlmortuaryshipping.com. app to collect money for Make-A-Wish on behalf of Judy.
