From texting to FaceTiming, smartphones make it easy to stay connected with friends and family however you want.
And if you have a smartphone, you know it can be used for much more than just communication.
For example, did you know you could rotate your iPhone screen by simply turning your head? Or use it to test batteries for your remote?
Most of these handy tricks are tucked away in your settings. But unless someone shows you, how would you ever find them?
Passare works the same way!
Passare is packed with powerful features that only take a little digging to find. But you don’t always have time to snoop around and learn new features.
So, we’ve rounded up 7 cool features in Passare to help you improve team productivity, stay on top of financials, manage your business, and ultimately change how you work for the better.
Ready to uncover them? Let’s dive in!
A detailed to-do list is essential to keep everything straight. Between services, you might be picking up programs, washing the hearse, or preparing for an annual event. All meaning that you have a variety of tasks on your to-do list each day.
Passare’s Tasks widget can help you manage any to-do item that comes your way. Some immediate perks include having a central place to manage tasks, the ability to create every kind of task, options to completely customize your view, and flexibility to create a task from anywhere in Passare.
Not only can you track case tasks, but you can also create tasks outside a case and see your team’s lists.
Enjoy crushing your to-do list while feeling more organized and focused. 💪
When it comes to keeping up with events (personally or professionally), are you a Google Calendar guru? Or do you keep a paper planner?
No matter your method, a calendar can help you avoid overbooking yourself.
Passare's Calendar feature lets you track service times, employee schedules, time off, and more! Now, you can color-code your Calendar to customize your schedule and highlight the details that matter most.
Another bonus? Connect your personal calendar for maximum organization. Now you don’t have to juggle multiple calendars because it is all in one spot!
Here's how one of our customers, Jarrod Styer, has seen success using the Calendar feature in Passare:
"Before Passare's Calendar feature, every night we'd say, ‘When do we need to be there?’ That's fine to a certain point, but I knew there had to be a better way to stay organized.
Now, I can schedule a funeral on the calendar as soon as I fill out the vitals if I want to. If there's a funeral Saturday night and viewing on Friday, we can all glance at the calendar and know when to be where and what we need to prepare for."
-Jarrod Styer, Licensed Funeral Director
When you’re away from the funeral home, it can be a challenge to answer a financial question from a family without all the information at your fingertips.
Now with Financials in the Passare mobile app, you can keep important contract information in your back pocket.
With Financials, you’ll know contracts added to a case and their totals, goods and services added to the contracts, and the remaining balance on contracts and payment details – all from your phone! 🤯
Most whiteboards serve as the central hub for all information. On it, you have columns for decedent names, appointment dates and times, service locations, and disposition types.
But your notes and color-coding methods can easily become cramped and mildly chaotic.
With digital Whiteboards, you can recreate your funeral home’s whiteboard directly in Passare for real-time updates and better organization.
Experience the luxury of color-coding, customization, and better collaboration with your team with real-time updates!
At your funeral home, you likely offer families different options for caskets, keepsakes, prints, and other merchandise. And if you don't keep your inventory up to date, it’ll take longer to get the items the family wants.
But with everything else on your to-do list, there isn't always time to track inventory manually.
With Inventory Management in Passare, you get an accurate overview of your inventory - even across multiple locations. It’s an easy way for your whole team to update items as purchased or used.
Plus, you can set up an inventory report to send straight to your inbox regularly, so you have all the information you need at your fingertips.
Building a meaningful connection with families can really elevate their loved one’s services. And it all begins with the questions you ask.
Passare’s Planning Center questions help families recall details and create a memorable service together. With this feature, you get easier ways to craft custom questions, improved organization (hello, tabbed sections), and questions available for all cases (even pre-need!).
Families love this feature, as shown by recent data in Passare. There have been 9,672 questions answered by families in Planning Center in just 3 months. Seems like a successful and meaningful way to connect with families. 👏
Sometimes, neither you nor the family has the time (or the words) to write a great obituary. But every decedent deserves a well-written memorial.
With the help of Passare's AI obituary writer, you can provide families with an excellent obituary.
Passare's AI writer takes case details entered into the software and uses them to generate obituary drafts. You can even add details to the AI generator to further personalize the obituary with interests, hobbies, accomplishments, and more. Just don’t forget to edit them!
In 2025 alone, there were 48,597 obituaries created from 320,000+ cases! This feature has saved funeral directors hours upon hours of time by helping them draft obituaries.
Hear firsthand from Skip Phelps:
“The hardest part of writing an obituary is getting started. The AI Obituary Writer provides a great starting place with great adjectives and descriptions. You'll get a good first draft if you put all the correct information into Passare.”
– Skip Phelps, Chief Operating Officer at Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum
Everyone has unique preferences and customization for their phone. That’s why Passare Mobile now includes dark mode. 😎
Dark mode helps reduce eye strain during long shifts, late-night removals, or updating case details in bed, so you can stay focused and comfortable.
Light or dark? The choice is yours.
