Features

Everything you need to keep supporting families.

Lanthorn is purpose-built for funeral home aftercare — not retrofitted CRM, not estate software.

Family workspaces

One calm place, per family

Every family gets a private workspace with branded support from your funeral home — visible to invited family members and staff only.

Task engine

Guided next steps that fit real life

Pre-built task templates across 11 categories. Family members claim tasks, comment, and check things off together.

Death certificate tracker

Always know how many you have left

Track copies ordered, received, and allocated by institution. The single most useful tool families ask for after a loss.

Document vault

Secure storage with calm structure

Organized folders for ID, insurance, will & trust, deeds, military records, and more. Permission-aware so sensitive items stay protected.

Contacts & institutions

Track who handles what

Banks, insurers, attorneys, government agencies — keep one shared list with last-contacted dates and next steps.

Activity timeline

Calm clarity, no group-text chaos

A quiet feed of completed tasks, documents added, and milestones reached. Replaces frantic family text threads.

Staff dashboard

Aftercare operations at a glance

See active workspaces, overdue tasks, and families who haven't activated yet — built for aftercare coordinators, not CRMs.

White-label branding

Your funeral home, end to end

Logo, colors, support contact, and welcome message on every page and reminder. Families feel cared for by you.

Audit & permissions

Built for trust

Row-level security, role-based access, and an audit log for sensitive actions. Family members only see what you've invited them to see.
