What are the alternatives to Tribute Technology?
Start with the thing you can check yourself: type crakn.net into your address bar and you land on tributetech.com. Type funeraltech.com and you land there too. Frazer Consultants says on its own home page that it is now part of Tribute Technology. That is what this search is usually about, and you can check it before you read another line. Below are four vendors that are not part of it, what each one publishes, and the one situation where staying is still the better answer.
What each vendor's own page shows
Which one, depending on what you are solving
Then the thing you are unhappy about and the thing you want are the same thing. One company for the website, the obituary, the print, the video, the memorial store and the payments, with case management beside them, really is fewer contracts to hold and fewer support numbers to call. Wrenbook has none of that side: no site, no obituary, no store, no online payment, no page a family ever sees. It is an internal tool for the firm, so it is not a smaller version of this. It is not in the running. What the single contract costs you is the figure: www.tributetech.com/pricing returned a 404 on August 27, 2026, there is no pricing entry in the navigation, and the ways in are a demo, a free consultation and a calculator that estimates your hours rather than your invoice.
Osiris itemizes on its own pricing page what it loads for you before you go live, read on August 27, 2026: "All Government Forms Included (Federal, State, Local)", alongside "Complete Entry of Your Price Lists (GPL, CPL, OCPL)". It publishes no list of the states that covers, so the answer for yours arrives in the quote rather than on the page. Wrenbook builds one. Georgia is the only form library it has today, no roadmap of other states is published, and a second state is not a setting somebody switches on for you. If your firm files in more than one, this one is not ours.
Tribute publishes the figure on its own product page, read on August 27, 2026: "saving up to 5 hours per case". It does not name the task that gives them up. The one task on this list a vendor documents taking off you is the filing itself. Passare’s help center carries a Georgia EDRS integration and a Pennsylvania one: for Georgia you press a GA EDRS Sync button next to the integration, enter your GAVERS username and password, and it reports back within a few seconds; for Pennsylvania the Sync sits in the case sidebar and answers "EDRS Case successfully created". Wrenbook produces the Georgia documents from the case and stops there. It records where a filing stands; it does not push the record into any state registry. If that second screen is the hour you thought you were buying back, this is the vendor that documents doing it.
Of the five products here, two publish a figure. Osiris publishes a floor: "plan prices start at $79/month and up", tiered on your call volume and settled by a custom quote. Wrenbook is tiered on volume too, and the difference is that both ends are printed on the pricing page: $149 a month up to 75 calls a year, $249 up to 300, month to month, no setup fee, migration included. Halcyon publishes its terms without a number and tells you an activation fee exists, which is not the same as knowing it. Passare and Tribute publish neither: www.passare.com/pricing and www.tributetech.com/pricing both returned a 404 on August 27, 2026. That is the whole claim here. A published range, not a better product.
Buying the suite did not remove the typing. Tribute puts a figure on the hours it saves without naming the task. Osiris publishes that it loads all federal, state and local forms for you, which is the situation above and a real answer to it; what its page does not say is that the case then fills them. Passare and Halcyon sell integrations and collaboration around the case rather than the documents themselves. Wrenbook exists for that one task: four Georgia documents come out of the case record instead of being keyed into it, the death certificate worksheet (Form 3903, items 1–26b), the SSA-721, the disposition permit (Form 3934, O.C.G.A. § 31-10-20) and the cremation authorization (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 250-6-.09). One state, though. Georgia is the only one built today, and everywhere else the typing survives the switch.
What each one does, and where it stops
Tribute Management Software
If fewer vendors is genuinely what you want, this is the product built for that: websites, print, video, obituaries, the memorial store, payments, marketing and case management from one company, which really is fewer contracts to hold and fewer support numbers to call. It says you could save up to five hours on every case, and names QuickBooks Online and Federated among the systems it connects to.
The consolidation is the product, and the address bar shows it: crakn.net now resolves to tributetech.com/crakn, funeraltech.com to tributetech.com/funeral-tech, and Frazer Consultants says on its own home page that it is now part of Tribute Technology. www.tributetech.com/pricing returns a 404 and there is no pricing entry in the navigation, so the size of the relationship you are entering is not published anywhere. The ways in are a demo, a free consultation and a calculator that estimates your hours rather than your invoice.
Osiris
The only vendor here that claims its own independence in writing: "independently owned and operated". It adds "a promise that we won’t sell our products through you", which is a commitment about not using you as a sales channel rather than about not being sold, and the two are easy to run together. Its terms are published in the same place: month by month, no contracts or long-term commitments, cancel at any time. A 30-day trial is offered on a separate page, by form. Onboarding is itemized: your GPL, CPL and OCPL entered for you, all government forms, a dedicated success manager, and dedicated time with a QuickBooks integration and accounting specialist.
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". Read its footer next to its independence claim: "an exclusive product of our parent company, Funeral Director’s Resource". And it sells case management and not much around it, so the websites, print and video you may be getting from Tribute today would come from somewhere else.
Passare
The natural home for an unbundled stack. Its help center lists integrations by category and names the partners in each: websites, print, answering services, aftercare, preneed, payments, live streaming, cemeteries. The pieces Tribute sells as a suite can therefore be bought separately and still reach the case file. The same help center documents case sync into the Georgia and Pennsylvania death registration systems. It publishes iOS and Android apps, says 2,600+ funeral homes use it, and reports a 96% customer service approval rating.
On cost it is no more open than the vendor you are leaving: no pricing page, no pricing entry in the navigation, and a 404 at www.passare.com/pricing. Every invitation to buy is a demo or a meeting. Its direct QuickBooks Online connection is set up for you on request rather than switched on by you, and the page selling its financial tooling names no accounting vendor at all. It publishes nothing about who owns it.
Halcyon
Completely web based, and sold in five editions, from a single firm up to a consolidated group. Of the vendors here that publish no figure, it is the one that says the most about the deal: month-to-month terms, no long-term contract, no surprising upgrade or support fees, and it names two charges nobody else on this page mentions at all, an activation fee and a case fee for larger customers.
It calls its own fee reasonable twice in one sentence without saying what it is, and the two charges it names are lines you cannot size until you are in a sales conversation. QuickBooks is an optional add-on rather than part of the base product, so the accounting link is a priced extra. And if you are leaving Tribute over consolidation, read the footer of Halcyon’s home page before you sign: "©2026 Batesville Services, LLC".
Wrenbook ours
Turns the recorded first call into the case file: transcribed, drafted, and each field linked back to the sentence it came from, with nothing leaving the case without a sign-off. The case then fills the Georgia death certificate worksheet, the disposition permit, the SSA-721 and the cremation authorization instead of being retyped into them. Holds a versioned, dated General Price List and builds the itemized Statement of Goods and Services from the arrangement selections, time-stamped. Both figures are on the pricing page, month to month, no setup fee, migration included.
The newest and narrowest product here, and the furthest from what a suite does. Georgia is the only state built today, and no roadmap of other states is published. Wrenbook records where a filing stands; it does not push the case into a state registry, which Passare states for two. No websites, no print, no video, no mobile apps. On ownership it publishes the company that operates the service and stops there, like the other four.
Where this information comes from
- 01 Prices and product claims were read on each vendor’s own pages, in a browser, on August 27, 2026.
- 02 The redirects were followed on the same day, from the address bar and from the command line: crakn.net and funeraltech.com both resolve to tributetech.com, and tributetech.com/pricing returns a 404. Those are reproducible in about ten seconds.
- 03 The sale price of Tribute Technology, its provider count and any price increase after an acquisition are not on this page. None of the three was read at a source, and a claim that cannot be checked weakens the ones that can.
- 04 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.
- 05 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, halcyondcms.com/funeral-software, frazerconsultants.com, and wrenbook.com/terms.
- 06 The situations on this page were rewritten after they were first published, and each one was re-read at its source rather than carried over: osirissoftware.com/pricing for what onboarding loads, tributetech.com/tribute-management-software for the hours it claims, support.passare.com for the Georgia and Pennsylvania EDRS articles, frazerconsultants.com for its own line about Tribute, and wrenbook.com/pricing for both figures. Two situations were dropped rather than rewritten. One asked which vendor puts a commitment in writing, and the honest answer separated nobody: not one of the five names who ultimately holds it. The other asked about crematory and trade editions, which Halcyon sells and Wrenbook does not, and which this page could not test against anything it had read.
- 07 Prices and ownership in this market change without notice. The date above is when these pages were read, not when this page was published.
