Extending your care into the digital realm — building relationships and trust with the families in your community long before they ever walk through your doors.
Harbor was built only for deathcare — one record that moves from the first call to the final receipt without ever leaving the screen. Run funeral, cremation, monument, and pet cases on a fast, branded system your whole team can pick up in an afternoon.
Every case from the first call to final disposition — vitals, custody, services, and tasks in one record. Type a detail once and it flows everywhere: the arrangement, the worksheet, the authorization, the invoice, the obituary.
Take the Sandcastle ChallengeGeneral price lists and itemized statements of goods & services built to meet FTC requirements, generated straight from the arrangement — and they stay aligned to the Rule automatically as it changes.
FTC GPL · StatementsCremation, embalming, interment, and military authorizations captured and signed electronically — no trip to the office during the worst week of a family’s life. Every signature lands back on the case.
Itemized invoices, account statements, sales-tax reporting, and online card payments — the money reconciled to the penny without leaving the case.
Invoices · Card paymentsInvite families to plan online through one secure link — branded to your funeral home, never to Harbor. They review the arrangement, share an obituary draft, e-sign, and pay on their own time, with no app and no account.
Draft obituaries and populate vital statistics in seconds — always with your review. The software fades into the background so your team stays present with the family.
Obituaries · VitalsRequest a review or send a family satisfaction survey right from the case — the moment services have been rendered. No more hunting down reviews. The feedback you earn is exactly what drives your visibility in search and AI answers (SEO & AEO), turning the families you’ve served into the reason new families find you.
Reviews · Satisfaction surveysThe one thing no other case-management system offers: a true keepsake designer inside the software. From the same case that ran the arrangement, a director builds every printed and digital memorial piece a family takes home — no re-typing, no separate design program, no per-piece vendor fees, and nothing extra on your bill.
Open any keepsake and it isn’t blank — it arrives already designed and already filled in from the case: the name, the dates, the obituary, the service details, and the portrait, all in place. From there it’s yours to shape on a true-to-size canvas — an 8.5×11 register page really is 8.5×11 on screen. Swap templates, change the palette and fonts, drop in a background, and move every element by hand, with alignment guides, clean undo, and the safe print margins shown — so what you lay out is exactly what comes off the printer.
Most platforms stop at the paperwork and hand the keepsakes to someone else. Harbor treats the memorial the family actually holds as part of the case — same system, same information, nothing re-keyed. A director with no design training can produce a finished, on-brand program in minutes, at any hour.
Unlimited cases. No per-case fees, ever. No contracts — cancel anytime. Live in days, not weeks.

Take the Harbor™ Sandcastle Challenge — Instant AccessDirector’s Corner is a single, all-inclusive monthly engagement. No tiers. No add-ons. No surprises. Here’s what’s working in the background for your firm, every month.
Two custom-branded tools families actually use — our direct-cremation planning guide and a full memorial planner for at-need and pre-need families — that quietly capture leads while delivering genuine value first. Try them below.
See the AppsAs AI quietly takes over the mechanics of search and comparison, the websites that win are the ones that build trust and recognition before a family ever needs you. We optimize your site to lead with meaning — your story, your reputation, your point of view — so you become the firm families already feel connected to when the moment comes, instead of one more link a machine flattens into a list.
Beyond traditional SEO. We structure your firm’s content so it surfaces inside the AI tools families now use first — ChatGPT, Google’s AI overviews, Perplexity — when they’re searching for funeral care.
GEO · LLMOYour social channels, handled. Consistent posting, audience growth, and ongoing community management — all in your firm’s voice and never generic.
3-month calendar in advanceSeasonal and milestone campaigns built around real moments — Memorial Day, grief awareness, community remembrance — designed to reach the right families at the right time.
Reviews are how families decide. We help you collect them thoughtfully from served families, respond to every one, and put your reputation to work where it matters most.
Your Google Business Profile, fully optimized and actively managed — photos, posts, hours, reviews, Q&A — so your firm shows up where families are searching: Google Maps, local search results, and “near me” queries.
Map pack · Local SEOFamilies don’t all engage the same way — so we don’t all create the same way. Content tailored to each platform’s strengths and your audience’s habits.
Blogs · Videos · Carousels · PodcastsLocal recognition, charitable involvement, staff spotlights — the human moments that turn a funeral home into a trusted neighbor in the eyes of the community you serve.
Structured follow-up that gives served families a respectful way to share their experience — and gives you actionable insight plus a steady stream of authentic testimonials.
Printed and digital guides — pre-planning, grief support, cremation explained — branded to your firm and designed to be shared, downloaded, and saved long before a family ever needs your services.
Ongoing education for your team on what’s working across the industry — from review-collection scripts to social etiquette to compassionate digital communication.
Clear, step-by-step playbooks that empower your team to handle the day-to-day digital touchpoints with confidence — no marketing background required.
Real people, fast responses, no help-desk scripts. When you have a question or need something changed, you talk to someone who knows your firm, your team, and the work we’ve already done for you.
#1 rated in the industryMost "lead magnets" feel like the trap they are. Ours don’t. They deliver genuine value to the family first — honest information, useful planning guidance, transparent options — and capture the lead as a side effect of being helpful. Try the live demos below.
Helping families plan a meaningful service — even after choosing direct cremation.
Families who choose direct cremation often regret skipping the service later. This guided app walks them through what a meaningful memorial can still look like — without pressure, without upselling — and connects them with your firm when they’re ready to plan something more.
A guided planner — branded to your firm — that lets families begin arranging online, at-need or pre-need.
A full family-facing memorial planner with transparent, FTC-compliant pricing. Families explore options, build a meaningful plan, and reach out when they’re ready — at-need or pre-need — turning your website into a quiet, around-the-clock front door for new families.
One planner, two front doors. The same Memorial Planner is also built directly into Harbor™ as your branded family portal — and that’s by design. When a family plans inside Harbor, everything they enter flows straight onto the case: the arrangement, the vital statistics, the obituary, and the invoice — with no re-keying and no second system to reconcile. Offer the planner standalone to capture leads from your website, or let it live inside Harbor so the plan a family builds becomes the case your team works from. Either way, it’s the same trusted experience for the family.

No. Director’s Corner is a month-to-month engagement. You can cancel anytime, for any reason — no early-termination fees, no commitment beyond the current month.
Yes. We work alongside every major funeral home platform — Tukios, Tribute Technology, FuneralOne, CFS, FuneralTech, Frontrunner Pro, and others. You don’t need to switch providers or rebuild your site to get started.
Generative Engine Optimization structures your firm’s content so it appears inside AI search tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews — not just traditional search results. Families increasingly ask these tools first when researching funeral care. Traditional SEO targets a ten-blue-links page that fewer people see each year; GEO targets the answer the AI gives directly.
A real writer on our team, working in your firm’s voice. We learn your tone during onboarding, share a three-month content calendar in advance, and adjust based on your feedback. Nothing goes live without your approval in the first cycle, and you can flag anything any time after.
Onboarding takes about two weeks — brand intake, voice calibration, content calendar build, system integrations. Most firms see measurable engagement lift in social and review activity within 30–60 days. GEO results compound over 90–180 days, since AI tools index and re-rank content over time. Lead conversion from branded apps typically begins in month one.
A real person on our team who knows your firm, your team, and the work we’ve already done. No ticket queues, no help-desk scripts. Phone, email, or text — whichever you prefer.
A women-owned digital marketing agency built exclusively for end-of-life care providers — funeral homes, crematories, cemeteries, hospice, and pet memorial services across the United States and Canada. Twenty-five years working inside the industry.
Harbor™ is our funeral home management software — the case-management system that runs every case from the first call to the final receipt. It’s a separate product from the marketing engagement. The engagement brings families to your door; Harbor helps you serve them once they arrive. You can have either on its own, or bundle both and save.
Harbor is $300 per month per location — unlimited cases, no per-case fees, ever, no contracts, cancel anytime. A one-time data import is priced to your firm’s size, starting at $750. Prefer everything together? The Complete Engagement + Harbor bundle is $500 per month — $575 separately, so you save $75 a month ($900 a year) — with the engagement setup waived.
Yes. Onboarding includes a full data import — we bring your history over and reconcile it to the penny, so you’re not starting from a blank screen. Most independent firms are live in days, not weeks, and there are no contracts holding you to your old system.
Yes. General price lists and itemized statements of goods & services are generated automatically from the arrangement to meet FTC requirements — and they stay aligned to the Rule as it changes, so compliance is the default rather than another thing on your checklist.
Yes. Harbor includes a family portal branded to your funeral home — never to Harbor. Families review the arrangement, share an obituary draft, e-sign, and pay through one secure link, on their own time, with no app to download. This is where the family-facing memorial planner now lives, integrated into the software rather than as a standalone tool.
