Writing an obituary is one of the most meaningful ways to honor a loved one.

But it can feel overwhelming for many families—especially when emotions are high and time is limited.

Passare’s AI Obituary Writer in the Planning Center changes that.

With our AI writing tool, families can create a personalized obituary draft in seconds. Not only does this tool make the writing process easier for families, but it also helps you save time on data entry! 👏

Keep reading to see 3 benefits for families (and you!) when they use Passare’s AI Obituary Writer. 👇

#1: Jumpstart the draft

You’ve seen it time and time again: a family wants to be involved in writing the obituary for their loved one but struggles to get started. In a perfect situation, you would have tons of extra time to sit down with them and assist them in starting a draft. That’s not always the reality.

If you aren’t available to be a guide in the process, the family can still easily get started on the obituary.

With Passare’s AI Writer in Planning Center, families can create a personalized first draft in seconds. No writer’s block makes for an easier writing experience!

Using our tool for the first draft helps families and you because:

1. The family can play a meaningful role in creating the obituary.

2. The funeral planning process keeps moving forward without delays.

3. You have more time to work on planning the service.

By giving families an easy way to start the obituary, you’re not only supporting them during a challenging time but also keeping the entire planning process on track.

#2: Create something unique

Some people hesitate to use AI because they think it will make the obituary too robotic or impersonal. Those are two words you definitely don't want to be associated with an obituary. 🙅‍♂️

Fortunately, our AI Writer offers a few ways for families to use the tool to tell their loved one’s story without losing the personal touch.

When AI quickly whips up a first draft, families can spend more time adding and personalizing the obituary instead of getting stuck finding the right words to say. And a draft is much easier to edit when the bulk of the writing is already done.

One standout feature is the ability to adjust the tone, ensuring the obituary doesn’t sound too generic or stiff. Families can choose from a variety of tone options, including celebratory, informal, reflective, reverential, compassionate, or a mix!

They can create a truly unique tribute.

#3: Enter details once

Gathering all the case information and details you need from families can be challenging. And once you have all the data, inputting it takes time.

But when families start the obituary in Planning Center, they will be prompted to enter information about the decedent. Then, all of that information will be transferred to their case in Passare for you to see.

Having case details entered for the obituary serves as a win-win for you and the families. The AI writing tool can create a more accurate obituary, and you won’t have to spend extra time entering case information!

BONUS: Save time and energy for everything else

Families have to make so many decisions after a loved one passes away. Their to-do list is miles long, and they don’t have extra time for writer’s block with the obituary.

Our AI writing tool eliminates the stressful time crunch by creating a draft quickly that’s easy to edit.

With everyone saving time on the writing process, you’ll all have the energy to tackle everything else. 💪

A win-win for families and you

Offering an AI writing tool to help with obituaries is one easy way to improve service to families.

When families write the obituary, they have more control over what they want to say about their loved ones, and your time is freed up so you can serve them in other ways.
