Passare

Overview

Passare is an all-in-one platform for funeral home operations, linking case work, family service planning, and business finances. It is best suited to funeral home owners, directors, and administrators who want those workflows connected. Its breadth is appealing, but case-volume fees and an annual renewal commitment make it important to assess both cost and contract terms before subscribing.

Key features

Passare Mobile lets staff view, search, filter, update, and navigate cases away from the office. Barcode tracking, an AI Scanner for first-call and vitals information, case financials, messages, and tasks extend its role beyond case lookup. That combination should suit teams whose work takes them away from a desk; homes seeking only basic case access may not need the wider mobile toolkit.

Arrangement Guide gives families an online way to plan services. Their arrangement information syncs to Passare and creates a case, connecting family planning with the home’s workflow rather than leaving staff to bridge that handoff separately. Financial tools cover payments, inventory management, check writing, and accounting, making the platform relevant to administrators who want business operations alongside case handling.

Passare works with dozens of funeral apps and includes website, financial-reporting, and memorial-printing integrations such as CFS, MKJ, Federated, PFA, Make it! Personal, and Director’s Print Suite. Its direct QuickBooks Online integration syncs case financials as journal entries, either automatically or manually. That gives finance teams a choice over syncing cadence while connecting case data to their accounting workflow.

Passare says it is SOC 2 and Standard SSL certified. Its listed protections include role-based permissions, two-factor authentication, encryption, and daily backups. Basic support includes phone and email support, training, and resources; Premium adds a designated team member, personal chat, a roadmap, check-ins, and customized feature setup. Premium’s closer support may suit a home that wants guided setup and ongoing contact, while Basic covers core assistance without those additions.

Pricing

Passare subscription: custom pricing based on prior case volume, with an annual subscription term. Fees depend on at-need, trade, and/or pet case counts and are adjusted annually based on case volume. This model ties the fee to a home’s business volume, but means the cost can change as that volume changes. There is no published seat count or trial term to compare.

The initial subscription lasts one year and renews annually unless the subscriber gives written notice at least 60 days before expiration. That deadline matters: a home considering cancellation or a switch should plan well ahead of renewal. Ask for a quote based on the relevant case types and volume, and review the renewal and annual adjustment terms before committing.

Platforms

Passare supports Android, iOS, and web, giving staff mobile access as well as a browser-based option. Its mobile case tools are particularly relevant to teams that need to update or navigate cases away from the office.

Who it's for

Passare is a strong fit for funeral homes that want case management, family planning, and financial operations in one platform, especially when staff need mobile case tools or the home values integration with QuickBooks Online and funeral-industry apps. Homes that prioritize predictable fixed pricing, a shorter commitment, or only a narrow operational function should compare alternatives before choosing it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Family arrangement information syncs into Passare and creates a case, linking planning to operations.
• Pros: Mobile tools include barcode tracking, an AI Scanner, financials, messages, and tasks, not just case viewing.
• Pros: Direct QuickBooks Online syncing can be automatic or manual and records case financials as journal entries.
• Cons: Fees depend on case volume and can be adjusted annually, so costs are not fixed.
• Cons: The one-year term renews automatically unless written notice arrives at least 60 days before expiration.
• Cons: Pricing is custom, so a home cannot compare a published Passare rate without requesting a quote.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Funeral Home Software.

Choose PlotBox if records, deeds, and plot management or a public genealogy portal are central; its Essential plan includes those capabilities, contracts, booking schedules, mapping, and memorials, while CRM and documents are bolt-ons. Choose FrontRunner if its professional products are a better fit, though pricing is also custom.

Afterword offers published monthly plans based on 200 cases a year: Online Planner is $179 a month and Essential Case Management is $79 a month. Consider it if a published monthly price and separate planning or case-management options better suit your needs.

Funeral Manager offers pay-as-you-go core modules for care of the deceased and arrangements; it may suit a home looking at those modules rather than Passare’s broader combination. Gather, FuneralHQ, and Memcare are other paid, web-based alternatives to compare.

Verdict

Passare is best for funeral homes that want one system to connect case handling, online family planning, mobile work, and business finances. Its integrated workflows and broad mobile toolkit are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a predictable published price, want a shorter commitment, or only need a narrower set of funeral-home tools.
