Features
Everything a funeral home needs to coordinate a service — nothing it doesn't.
Kin Ceremony is a working system for cases, families, content, and deadlines, designed around how a director's week actually runs.
Family intake
Collect everything once, in the right structure.
A private, mobile-first portal families open from a link. No account, no app, no confusion.
Passwordless private link
Directors copy or send a link; families open it on any device. The primary contact can invite relatives to help.
Structured survivors
Sons, daughters, siblings, grandchildren, and more as repeatable rows — no more missed names in the program.
Categorised photo upload
Cover portrait, collage, and childhood photos land in the right place, stored privately with expiring links.
AI playlist builder
Family picks a duration, artist, and genre; Kin Ceremony builds a full playlist of matching songs they can accept in one tap.
Obituary companion
A gentle AI interviewer asks about life, work, faith, and memories, then drafts an obituary from only what was shared.
Review mode
After submission families see exactly what is outstanding and can add missing pieces any time before print.
Case coordination
A command center for every service on the calendar.
Directors see what needs attention today, not a list of forms.
Command dashboard
Active cases, services within seven days, overdue tasks, and unread messages — each card drills into the follow-up action.
Task management
Every case starts with a task list weighted into a live completion percentage, with blockers explained in plain language.
Reminders engine
Automatic email and text nudges to families for outstanding items, so directors are not the ones chasing.
Director–family messaging
One thread per case for questions and reminders, visible to the whole team with unread badges.
Staff can fill gaps
If a family submits incomplete information, staff can edit answers directly and reopen the intake for the family.
Teams and roles
Invite staff by link with specific roles. Only invited members can sign in to your workspace.
Program builder
Heritage-quality programs, drafted by AI and approved by people.
The studio behaves like a content strategist and a creative director at once.
AI drafting from family facts
Cover, obituary, order of service, acknowledgements, and pallbearers are composed from the intake — nothing invented.
Three heritage themes
Heritage Gold, Midnight Regalia, and Botanical Legacy with layered borders, script typography, and feathered portraits.
Readiness check
AI detects missing dates, names, and photos before print and walks the director through fixing each blocker.
Structured order of service
Every entry — processional, hymn, scripture, eulogy — is a structured item with participant and duration warnings.
Approval loop
Director approves, family reviews and approves from their portal, then the program is finalised and locked.
Print-ready output
Letter bifold, trifold, single page 8.5×11, and 5×7 memorial card PDFs ready for your printer.
Reporting and trust
Know how your firm is doing, and prove every approval.
Completed services become a record you can learn from.
Service completion
Mark a service complete with a required note and optional finalisation checklist.
Monthly analytics
Completed services per month, in-progress counts, and averages over time.
Audit trail
Approvals and significant edits recorded with actor, time, and version.
Isolation by design
One funeral home can never see another's cases; each family sees only their own.
Plans that scale
Seats, locations, case volume, and AI usage tracked against your plan in Plan & usage.
AI labelled and reviewable
Every AI output is marked as a draft and requires human approval before print.
