Plan

Build the service plan step by step: invite guests, assign responsibilities, prepare media, and finalize timing.

Build and Send Invitations

Run a fully-featured invitation flow with trackable links and RSVP visibility.

  • Build a guest list with names, email addresses, phone numbers, and relationship context.
  • Send unique guest links and monitor opens and repeat views by timestamp.
  • Track RSVP status (`yes`, `no`, `maybe`), party size, and optional guest notes.
  • Use a readiness check before sending: venue selected, at least one honoree, organizer assigned.

Roles

Define each person's planning access level before assignments and scheduling begin.

  • Honoree - Person being honored, including pre-need planning context when applicable.
  • Funeral Organizer - Primary owner of planning, invitations, and timeline decisions.
  • Collaborator - Trusted helper with access to update planning details.
  • Funeral Director - Professional coordinator for ceremony logistics and flow.
  • Guest - Invitee with limited access to invitation and event information.

Assignments

Assign service-day responsibilities clearly so everyone knows who handles each moment.

  • Officiant - Leads the ceremony and transitions between segments.
  • Pallbearer - Supports casket movement and processional logistics.
  • Eulogist - Delivers spoken tribute during the service.
  • Singer - Performs selected music live at the designated moments.
  • Usher - Welcomes guests, helps with seating, and supports flow at entry points.

Create Song List

Curate music to match each moment of the service and avoid last-minute audio issues.

  • Choose selections for arrival, reflection, procession, and closing.
  • Document exact song versions and durations to support timing.
  • Confirm licensing or streaming availability for venue playback.
  • Prepare an offline backup playlist in case internet access is unavailable.

Record / Upload Video & Audio

Prepare tribute media and personal messages in advance so delivery is smooth on the day.

  • Upload tribute videos and audio with consistent naming for easy retrieval.
  • Record going-away messages for specific guests or groups with tone and timing notes.
  • Run playback checks for venue equipment and keep backup files ready offline.
  • Control collaborator permissions for uploads, edits, and final distribution.

Create Funeral Schedule

Create a run-of-show that aligns speakers, media, providers, and guest communication.

  • Map each segment with owner, start time, and expected duration.
  • Coordinate transitions: seating, microphone handoff, music cues, and media playback.
  • Add contingency buffers for travel delays, emotional pauses, and venue timing shifts.
  • Schedule reminder communications so guests get updates at the right times.
