How funeral directors use the funeral-home portal

Funeral directors get their own portal to coordinate with your parish on a funeral — without needing a parish login. It is a shared, tidy line of communication in place of phone tag.

What a director sees

• The funerals assigned to their funeral home, with the deceased's name, date, church, and the parish contact.
• The service schedule, the cemetery, and the planning meeting time once your parish sets them.
• A notes panel they can write in and you can read and answer.
• A place to add the obituary link and next-of-kin details.

How it stays in sync

• When your parish creates or updates an assigned funeral, the relevant details are pushed to the portal.
• When the director posts a note or an obituary, your parish sees a "new from funeral home" flag on that case.
• Next-of-kin a director adds is shown to your parish read-only — it never writes itself into your register.

Tips

• Only funerals assigned to a home appear there, so directors see just their own work.
• Set the arrangements promptly — that is what populates the director's view.
