Passare

Overview

Passare brings funeral-home case work, family arrangements, and business operations into one platform. It suits funeral-home owners, directors, and administrators who want those activities connected; its strongest case is breadth, while fees tied to case volume may be harder to budget than a fixed subscription.

Key features

Passare Mobile lets staff find, 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 make the mobile tools relevant to staff handling operational work on the move, not just checking records.

Arrangement Guide lets families plan services online. Their information syncs to Passare and creates a case, linking family planning with the home’s case workflow. That connection can suit homes seeking a more continuous process from arrangement planning into case management.

Financial tools cover payments, inventory management, check writing, and accounting. Passare also says it works with dozens of funeral apps, including 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.

Passare says it is SOC 2 and Standard SSL certified, and lists role-based permissions, two-factor authentication, encryption, and daily backups among its protections. 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; that tier is more compelling for homes that want ongoing, tailored assistance.

Pricing

Passare subscription: custom pricing based on prior at-need, trade, and/or pet case volume, with annual adjustments based on case volume. The subscription runs for an initial one-year term and renews annually unless written notice is given at least 60 days before expiration. This model ties fees to business activity, but homes should account for changing case counts and track the notice deadline when evaluating the commitment.

Platforms

Passare is available on web, Android, and iOS. Its mobile tools give staff case access and operational features beyond the web-based workflow.

Who it's for

Passare is aimed at funeral-home owners, funeral directors, and administrators. It is a stronger fit for homes that want case management, online family arrangements, financial operations, integrations, and mobile work in a shared platform. A home seeking only one narrow workflow may not benefit as much from that breadth or from fees that vary with case volume.

Pros and cons

• Connected case and family workflows: Arrangement Guide syncs family planning information into Passare and creates a case.
• Useful mobile scope: Staff can update cases and use barcode tracking, the AI Scanner, financials, messages, and tasks away from the office.
• Broad operational coverage: Payments, inventory, check writing, accounting, and a direct QuickBooks Online journal-entry sync support business workflows alongside case management.
• Variable fees and renewal obligation: Case-volume pricing adjusts annually, and subscribers must give written notice at least 60 days before annual expiration to avoid renewal.

Alternatives

Funeral Home Software is a category list for comparing funeral-home tools. Choose FrontRunner if you want to consider a paid web-based alternative with custom pricing. PlotBox may suit homes prioritizing records, deeds, plot management, genealogy, contracts, booking schedules, mapping, and memorials; its Essential plan offers those core areas, while CRM and documents are bolt-ons, and Pro is another plan option. FuneralHQ and Gather are paid web-based alternatives.

Afterword is worth considering when a published monthly price and online planner or essential case management plan better match your needs: its listed prices are $179 a month for Online Planner and $79 a month for Essential Case Management, billed monthly, based on 200 cases/year. Funeral Manager offers pay-as-you-go core modules for care of the deceased and arrangements, making it an alternative to consider when those modules are the focus. Memcare is another paid web-based option.

Verdict

Passare is a strong choice for funeral homes that want mobile case work, online family arrangements, financial operations, and integrations connected in one system. Its main reason to choose is that operational breadth; look elsewhere if case-volume-based fees and an annually renewing contract do not fit your budget or purchasing preferences.
