What does funeral home software actually cost?
Almost nobody in this market will tell you. Five vendors were opened on the same day: two publish figures, one publishes its billing terms without a number, two publish nothing at all, and both of those return a 404 where a pricing page should be. The second of the two that publish figures is ours, which is said here rather than left to be noticed. That silence is the finding, and it is why the software directories that rank for this search fill the gap with grids of their own. Below is what each page actually showed.
What each vendor's own page shows
Which one, depending on what you are solving
This is the one question on this page where the answer is not close, and it is the only one Wrenbook wins. Two figures, month to month, on the pricing page, with the plan boundaries printed so you know which line you fall on — and thirty days without a card if the figure is not enough. Osiris comes nearest and publishes a floor, but the number you will pay is tiered on your call volume and arrives later, as a quote. Halcyon publishes its billing terms and no figure at all, which is more than Passare or Tribute manage and still not a number. Those two publish neither, and www.tributetech.com/pricing returns a 404.
Its pricing page itemizes onboarding: complete entry of your price lists (GPL, CPL and OCPL), all government forms — federal, state and local — a dedicated success manager, and dedicated time with a QuickBooks integration and accounting specialist. The words that decide this are "all" and "state": whichever state you operate in, Osiris says it will load its forms. Wrenbook has built one, Georgia. In the other forty-nine there is no form set to load, so this is not a question of how good a migration is — it is that outside Georgia there is nothing here to migrate into.
Nobody else here comes close on breadth: websites, print, video, obituaries, the memorial store, payments and case management from one vendor really is fewer contracts and fewer support numbers to call. Wrenbook has none of that, and not partially: it exposes no public page of any kind — no firm website, no obituary, no store, no online payment. It is an internal tool for the funeral home, and the family never sees it. Passare answers the same worry the opposite way, keeping the suppliers you already have and connecting to them. Read where Tribute stops before you sign, and you can do it from your own address bar: crakn.net returns a 301 to www.tributetech.com/crakn/.
This is the widest gap on the page, and it is ours. Passare’s integration directory carries an Electronic Death Record category that names two states, Georgia and Pennsylvania: case data entered once in Passare syncs into the state registry instead of being keyed a second time. Wrenbook fills the Georgia death certificate worksheet and records where the filing stands — it does not push the case anywhere, and there is no code in it that does. If you are in either of those two states and double entry is what you are trying to stop, that is the whole purchase, and no price on this page changes it.
What each one does, and where it stops
Osiris
The only one of the four others to publish a figure, and it publishes its terms in the same place: month by month, no contracts or long-term commitments, cancel at any time. It also itemizes what onboarding covers: complete entry of your GPL, CPL and OCPL, all government forms (federal, state and local), a dedicated success manager, and dedicated time with a QuickBooks integration and accounting specialist. No other page here says what a switch includes.
The $79 is a floor, not a price: what you pay is tiered on your at-need call volume and arrives as a custom quote, and the enterprise tier is a "contact us directly". The gap that leaves is exactly where the directories go to work: Capterra and Software Advice both list Osiris at $100 a month, both describing it as a flat rate, on a plan the vendor’s own page prices by volume.
Halcyon
The only vendor here that publishes its terms without publishing a number. Its home page has a pricing section: you pay month to month, there is no long-term contract, there are no surprising upgrade or support fees, and it names the only two extra charges any vendor here names without pricing them: an activation fee, and a case fee for larger customers. Osiris publishes the same terms and a starting figure; of the three vendors that publish no figure, this is the one that says the most. The product is completely web based, and comes in five lines: funeral, crematory, pet cremation, trade management and enterprise management.
It calls its own fee reasonable twice in one sentence without saying what it is. Naming an activation fee and a case fee without sizing either tells you two more lines are coming and leaves you unable to weigh them against anything. QuickBooks is an optional add-on rather than part of the base product, so the accounting link is a priced extra on top of the number you are not being told. And the footer of that same page reads "©2026 Batesville Services, LLC": this is a casket manufacturer’s product, not an independent one.
Passare
On everything except cost, it is the most documented product of the five. Its integration directory publishes eleven categories and 40+ integrations, naming the partners one at a time: websites (CFS, Batesville, Tribute Tech, funeralOne, MKJ, Tukios), answering services (ASD, DeathCall, Miraven), print, aftercare, preneed, payments, live streaming, cemeteries. One of those categories is Electronic Death Record, and it names two states, Georgia and Pennsylvania: a case entered in Passare syncs into the state registry rather than being keyed twice.
The one subject it does not document is the one you searched for. There is no pricing page, no pricing entry in the navigation, and www.passare.com/pricing returns a 404. Every invitation to buy is a demo or a meeting, so the first number reaches you after an hour with a salesperson who already knows how big your firm is.
Tribute Management Software
Buys the widest ground of the five from a single company: websites, print, video, obituaries, the memorial store, payments and case management, all sold together. If your objection to this market is the number of contracts you hold and the number of support numbers you call, this is the answer to that objection, and none of the other four is close to it.
www.tributetech.com/pricing returns a 404 and there is no pricing entry in the navigation; every way in is a demo or a consultation. It is also a roll-up, and you can watch it from the address bar rather than take our word for it: crakn.net returns a 301 to www.tributetech.com/crakn/. What you are buying breadth from is a company assembled out of the vendors you may already be paying.
Wrenbook ours
Publishes both figures on the pricing page with the terms beside them: no setup fees, no contracts, free migration, cancel anytime and take your data with you. Like Osiris, it prices by volume; unlike Osiris, both ends of the tiering are printed (up to 75 calls a year, and up to 300), so you know which line you fall on before you call. The same page publishes what a switch covers — cases, contacts and price lists, out of SRS, Frazer, Osiris, Passare or a spreadsheet, done by us, usually within a week — and thirty days with no card, with your data imported for you, so the figure can be checked against the product before anyone is on the phone. What the money buys: the recorded first call becomes the case file, each field linked back to the sentence it came from, and the case then fills the Georgia death certificate worksheet, disposition permit, SSA-721 and cremation authorization instead of being retyped into them.
The newest and narrowest product here, and the narrowness is the thing to weigh. Georgia is the only state built today, no roadmap of other states is published, and in the other forty-nine there is neither a filing clock nor a form set. Wrenbook records where a filing stands; it does not push the case into a state registry, which Passare documents for two. It exposes nothing to families at all — no website, no obituary, no store, no online payment — so nothing here matches the ground Tribute sells, and there are no mobile apps.
Where this information comes from
- 01 Prices were read on each vendor’s own pages, first on August 27, 2026 and re-read on August 28. Where a page returned a 404 or a redirect, the HTTP code is quoted as it was read, with the host it was read on, rather than paraphrased.
- 02 Two claims that appeared here on August 27 have been removed rather than carried forward: Passare’s "2,600+ funeral homes" and its "96% customer service approval rating". They did not come back on the pages opened for the second reading, and a figure nobody can find again is not a figure.
- 03 Software directories were not used as a price source. Capterra and Software Advice both list Osiris at $100 a month, both calling it a flat rate, where the vendor’s own page says $79 and up, tiered on at-need call volume.
- 04 These pages were read from France. Osiris displays its figure in US dollars as running text, on a page that offers no currency choice.
- 05 What each vendor says its product does is its own claim, attributed here rather than confirmed. This page has no first-hand use of the four other products.
- 06 Other pages were opened for this reading and are not in the table above: osirissoftware.com and its start-free-trial page, support.passare.com, passare.com/financials, halcyondcms.com/funeral-software, tributetech.com/tribute-management-software, and wrenbook.com/terms.
- 07 Prices in this market change without notice. The date above is when these pages were read, not when this page was published.
