Afterword vs FrontRunner

Afterword is web software for funeral providers managing arrangements and related case work. It supports online arrangements, service scheduling, pre-need management, and electronic signatures. Its plans cover case management, task lists, chain of custody, and online planning, with listed prices based on 200 cases per year. Essential Case Management costs $79 a month, Task Lists $99 a month, Chain of Custody $149 a month, Online Planner $179 a month, and Personalized Case Management $325 a month. The pricing note lists plans from $79/mo and a 7-day trial. Afterword has no free plan. It is available on the web, and its headquarters are in New York, NY, United States. The listed price basis is 200 cases per year, so the plan amounts are tied to that case volume.

FrontRunner is a web-based system for funeral homes that brings management tools and family-facing websites together. Its Pulse Business System includes reporting, accounting, online memorials, and business documents. Funeral management features cover multiple locations, reports, forms, invoices, and contracts, with QuickBooks integration. FrontRunner says Pulse captures data centrally and shares it among integrated components to reduce duplicate entry and errors. It also offers funeral home websites designed to inform families, generate online leads, and provide built-in revenue generators. Online arrangements, obituary pages, and a funeral website builder are available. FrontRunner says its funeral management software integrates with PlotBox cemetery management software for businesses serving funeral home and cemetery operations. The company describes its products as supported by Tribute Technology and says that backing provides enhanced security; it does not name a certification on the product page. FrontRunner Professional is now part of Tribute Technology, under which its website, software, and support continue.
