From the early days of Gather, we recognized that funeral homes wanted a tool that was seamlessly integrated together. This was not an easy task. With every feature we've developed over the last decade, we've worked hard to ensure that everything is tied together perfectly, and we've achieved that objective.
Having everything fully integrated saves you time, removes headaches, and creates a superlative experience each time you use Gather. Let's walk through a few examples to show you what we mean and how important it is to have a platform that is fully integrated.
Funeral Home + Family
Nearly every aspect of what you do as a funeral director is tied to helping a family. Because of this, Gather is a dual-entry platform that was carefully designed to help both the funeral home and the family with all of the tasks needed to say goodbye to a loved one.
Families can be invited into Gather and you can control exactly what access levels they have. You can quickly assign them tasks, send reminders, request payments, share service details, educate them, ask them to esign documents, and so much more.
Take a look at some of the screenshots below that showcase how easy it is to work with families in Gather.
Organize + Remember
By using Gather to help organize the arrangements, you automatically create a digital keepsake for your families as shown below.
Many of the tasks completed during the arrangement process automatically create a digital keepsake for the family. For example, inviting helpers to work on tasks also adds those family members to a digital guestbook on the Remember page. here are a few more examples.
Photos
As a Funeral Director, you need photos for a number of different tasks. With Gather, we create a shared photo library that can be used throughout the entire Gather experience:
To be rearranged for a memorial video
To be preserved for the family to hold onto forever
To be attached to an obituary
To attach to your DashBoard for quick identification
Photos can be easily collected from multiple people
To be displayed beautifully on your custom Gather website (optional)
Photos can be downloaded at full resolution to be used as needed
Vitals
Rather than enter the vitals multiple times, with Gather you can invite the family to enter the vitals once and then they can be used across the entire Gather platform:
To autofill forms for print or esignature
In Gather's custom aftercare tasks like turning off a Netflix account
To be used to automatically generate a beautiful obituary using A.I.
To flow into your customizable management reports
To flow to your custom Gather website (optional)
To view details in your customizable chain of custody (optional)
Events
Gather makes it easy to keep your team on the same page with scheduled events. Enter an event once and it will flow through the entire Gather experience as well as onto your phone's calendar:
