Funeral Software -- Personal service at the speed of business

We are solving the value proposition of time. The less time we spend at the desk and doing repetitive tasks, the more time we spend with our client families and focusing on our businesses.

Functionality

Pros:

The user interface and web-based software allow our team to easily manage our client families both inside and out of the funeral home. We can now spend more time with our own families and still manage work remotely from anywhere. This software has improved our Customer Relationship Management and cut down on the time we spend printing documents, programs, and other custom forms. Having personal contact with programmers, customer service, and administration is something you won't find with the big software houses. We get detailed support and can influence the direction of the software by having close working relationships with the owners, developers, and designers.

Cons:

Being a small shop sometimes means that new iterations come a little slower than the big software firms, but the flexibility and influence on the technical direction are still worth the wait. This is the best software on the market today -- period.

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

We've looked into or used almost everything on the market at some point. User interface design is something we focus on to improve our workflows and decrease repetition and time. Halcyon has the bests user interface to date on the market.

Reasons for switching to Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

A true web-based CRM specific for our industry was needed.

Reasons for switching to Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

I was not able to understand/adapt the program

Vendor Response

Halcyon is widely accepted as the easiest funeral home management software to use. On rare occasion a customer doesn't have enough confidence using the computer and cannot grasp the system. When that happens we go well beyond our commitment to get them going. That is the case here despite the heavily discounted setup fee that was charged. Our setup fee is nonrefundable and we set that expectation right up front. We also were not paid for several months' of service fees and custom work that was done. We remain confident we did all we could and we wish you nothing but the highest success going forward.

Elevating our operation with clean, easy to use and effective technology

Overall, it has been a nice experience. The capabilities that Halcyon provides gives us room to be more efficient, saving administrative time and producing our most important documents in the way that is needed in order to reflect the quality of our operation. Saving documents and being organized digitally is becoming more important every day. Halcyon provides a great solution for modern day problems in the death care industry.

Pros:

The general case management and printed contracts were our biggest improvement operationally. The ability to get our entire staff consistent with our statements of goods and services and clean up the details of those was our biggest goal when moving to Halcyon. The integrations with ASD and Matthews-Aurora was nice features that made things easy and effective. Both of those organizations were already partners of ours, so it just made things easier for all of us. Our credit card processing is run through Halcyon's integrated partner. It has been a nice transition from an old terminal, and all transactions automatically post to the account, which saves time on data entry on purchases and payments.

Cons:

Wrapping your head around the sophistication of this software is the hardest part when onboarding. It can be overwhelming to think of all of the features to utilize and what it would do to your organization. The best advise would be to prioritize your goals when onboarding, and compartmentalize a few of the highest priority goals to focus on. You can always expand to other features over time.

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

We chose Halcyon because of their ability and willingness to customize anything that we wanted tweaked from the beginning. They seemed to have a better understanding of the need to adjust certain documents, reports, etc. than other solutions. If they didn't understand, they didn't let us know that. They just listened to what was needed and why and made the changes. That was the biggest reason for us in choosing them over others, and it continues to be impressive with their ability to adapt and customize our experience and case management.

Pros:

Definitely the case tracking features. Through Halcyon, we provide the highest level of security for the cremation services we provide. By assigning QR Codes to each case and each step/location in the cremation process, we are able to confirm where each case is located and maintain total control over each cremation until safely released to the family or partnering funeral home. Also the invoicing ability, financial accounting, and document archival features are tremendous assets.

Cons:

With any new technology or software program, there is a learning curve. So, we did invest time and energy into understanding the best way for Halcyon to support our business. They have an excellent support team who were invaluable to us are we learned the system. Halcyon is a complete death-care management system. When we discovered Halcyon, we were looking for an effective way to streamline our cremation intake and processing while raising the level of security in the services we provide. It has exceeded our expectation at every level. The time spent to learn the program has been a great investment.

Pros:

How user friendly it is and how we have the ability to do a lot of customization on our end. The set up and transition process was very easy and Halcyon's support was amazing through the process. Their support is great, they respond within a day and are great at figuring out ways to customize the software to meet ours and our clinic needs. The partner portal is great, I love that we can tailor some things per clinic need. The tracking system is also great and Halcyon did an awesome job working with us to get it customized to our process.

Cons:

Merchandising set up, I wish that there was a drop down menu rather than list format. Price groups, it is not easy to change things with the price groups. Urn selection, it would be nice if a standardized urn could auto-populate for each clinic. Printing of the tracking/tag form, would like it if this was more streamlined.

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

Because SRS seemed very similar to the software we were using. We were very impressed with the Halcyon demo.

Reasons for switching to Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

Because they were very difficult to work with, they charged us for every tiny change, even if they were updating their software, we would have to pay for it. There support was awful, took them days to get back to us. The software itself seemed like something that was designed in the 80's

Halcyon

Halcyon overall has been a game changer for my business. I am able to easily access information from anywhere in the world on any device at the touch of a button or swipe of a finger. The platform exceeds our expectations and the constant (weekly/monthly) updates only make it better.

Pros:

The ease of use and implementation is huge for my team. We were able to get the process running quickly with only a few hiccups that were technical in nature. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team were fair and responsive to our requests for help and continue to be. Quite simply, Halcyon does what it says it's going to do without a lot of extra frills and that is huge in my book. Having come from another cloud based solution, I could not imagine not using Halcyon at this point for my business.

Cons:

There are a few things that would be nice. As mentioned earlier in this survey the ability to enter pre-need payments without having an account number would be huge for my business. The ability to manually edit some pre-filled information in some forms would be beneficial to me as well (CFF in particular). It would be helpful to me if the charitable donations would become a list so that we don't have to keep entering the same charity over and over. Social Security numbers could auto format. I would like to see integrations with aftercare.com and Ring Ring Marketing for their review tool.

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

Frankly, the ability to customize the platform to meet our specific needs at the touch of a button - or on the fly - and the simplicity with which Halcyon works. We liked [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the price point as well. The testimonials from well respected firms in funeral service on the website sealed the deal for us.

Halcyon Product Review

Over all the program is very helpful with having all the clients and financial information in one place at your fingertips.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

As a funeral home, we handle about 300 families a year. The feature of having each deceased with their own computer file is very helpful. The file shows all family background, contract and payment information. Very helpful by having all the information at your fingertips. As office manger, the Financial section is very user friendly as well as the software is also very helpful with gathering report figures.

Cons:

As a funeral home that has two locations, we have two separate client numbering systems, but one Halcyon platform. There is a problem with the program and the client numbering system. No matter which location you select the next contract number that appears is always based off of the last contract entered. It does not change the numbering for each location, we manually have to keep track and change the contract number ourselves. Another issue is with the Financial section. When I am entering a check to be written from a client account, (ie: cash advances) it takes forever to populate the client name and the cash advances to choose from with which I am paying. The final concern is with sending out statements to our families. A statement and an Contract Summary are two different items. If a family had "add-ons", those add-ons do not get added to the balance if you are sending out a late statement. With a statement you must print off every financial item for that family. Where as an contract summary will show everything. You must really be on your game to make sure you are sending out an accurate balance due to the families

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

Our funeral home is with the Rollings Funeral Service Group and this product came along with the new acquisition on July 1, 2017

Thanks for your candid review Llewella. In January we made some system changes that address all of the concerns you pointed out. I suspect since then you would reconsider your review and you are more likely to recommend Halcyon. Would you consider updating the review with a more favorable score and likelihood to recommend? Thanks for your input towards making Halcyon even better!

A Diamond in the Rough

Halcyon is NOW a Great Solution. I has used it briefly back in 2009 and it was a real turd, so I tried multiple industry software solutions and never found one that was easy to use and did things “MY WAY”, so for the past 10 years we have used a multitude of spreadsheets to manage of 2 funeral homes. I was hesitant to try it again but after taking a second look, it’s an entirely different product.

Pros:

The simplicity of screen layout and data organization is Great. The ability to create custom forms that automatically %%Include%% data from the case record makes our operation appear very professional. Having everything Cloud based makes instant access from my iPhone or iPad simple, anywhere in the world I am.

Cons:

I can’t really think of anything that could be done better, simply because as we run across a “bug” or feature that could work better for us, a simple Help ticket to Support and Halcyon is on it and fixes it within days.

Reasons for choosing Halcyon Death Care Management Solutions

We desperately needed a single product to manage the business better to continue our growth. Halcyon now does that for us. It is not perfect, nothing really is, but I have used or reviewed everything else out there and Halcyon is the closest thing to perfect out there.
