Families sign on an iPad. You keep every name, number, and address — long after the day.
You serve fifty, a hundred, two hundred people at a service. Every one is a possible pre-need conversation, a Google review, a thank-you that deepens a family relationship. But if no one can read the book afterward, none of it happens.
An optional “interested in planning ahead” toggle captures intent at the moment it's highest — right after a service. No awkward conversation, no extra staff.
A gentle follow-up after the service invites families to leave a Google review. More reviews mean more at-need families find you — not the consolidator down the road.
Thank-you notes, grief resources, anniversary check-ins — sent from clean contact data. Families feel cared for; your staff never types a single name.
Set up in five minutes. Your staff doesn't need to learn anything new.
Place an iPad at the service. Guests write their name, phone, email, and address with any stylus — just like a paper guestbook.
On submit, the handwriting is transcribed into structured data — name, phone, email, mailing address — with remarkable accuracy, even when it's hurried.
Every entry lands in a clean dashboard. Export a PDF for the family. Use the contacts for aftercare, thank-you cards, and pre-need outreach.
Most homes serve 50+ guests a service and never hear from them again. See the revenue you could recover with clean contact data.
Calculate your valuePurpose-built for funeral services — not a generic kiosk app with a guestbook skin.
Reads handwritten entries and converts them to structured contact data — name, phone, email, address — even when the writing is messy.
Each service gets a unique QR code. Display it so guests — even those who couldn't attend — can sign from their own phone.
Generate a beautiful PDF of every entry to give the family — a modern keepsake that will never get lost or fade.
Lock the iPad to the guestbook during services. Guests can sign but can't navigate away, open Safari, or check email.
No Wi-Fi at the church? Entries queue locally and sync automatically when a connection returns.
Manage several active services at once. Switch with a tap — each has its own guestbook, entries, and QR code.
Most attempts use a generic form app that staff have to configure, troubleshoot, and babysit. This is purpose-built: one app, locked to the screen with Guided Access, working offline, with zero training. Demo mode lets you try it in thirty seconds.
Yes. They sign with a stylus on a familiar guestbook layout — name, phone, email, address. It feels like signing a book, not using technology. Guests in their eighties and nineties use it comfortably.
You can do both. Many homes keep the paper book as a keepsake and use the iPad to capture clean contact data. The PDF export also gives families a digital guestbook they can't lose.
An optional toggle at the bottom of the guestbook: “I'd like information about planning ahead.” Guests opt in quietly and privately. You get their name, address, and intent — as structured data, not a scrawled note.
It works completely offline. Entries save locally and sync automatically when a connection becomes available — no hotspot needed during the service.
Any iPad running iPadOS 17 or later, with any stylus. A basic iPad setup runs around $350 — a one-time cost you likely already have on hand.
