A guestbook
to honor a life.
Guests sign on your iPad — or from their own phones, with a code you show them. After the service, you get every name, number, and address.
Signed by hand, on a familiar page.
The signing screen is a guestbook page, not a form. Guests write with any stylus — the same motion they have made at every service before this one.
Handwriting that stays handwriting
Pressure-sensitive handwriting on a paper-warm screen. A signature keeps its character — and the book keeps the handwriting itself, not just the letters read out of it.
No Wi-Fi needed
A chapel basement, a graveside, a church with no network — entries save on the iPad and sync themselves the moment a connection returns.
Locked to the book
Guided Access keeps the screen on the guestbook and nothing else. Guests can sign — not browse, not wander, not close anything.
The same app, in your pocket.
The iPad faces your guests. Your iPhone faces you: every service, every iPad, every entry — from the office, the hallway, or the back of the chapel.
A dignified card for any service — portrait, dates, and the code. Guests scan it and sign from their own phones, at the service or from home.
Rose Chapel is signing, Chapel A is paused, Reception is not paired yet. Open, pause, or lock any of them from wherever you happen to be standing.
Entries arrive the moment guests sign. Hide one with a tap, share the book, and see who asked about planning ahead — while everyone is still in the building.
Three steps. Zero training.
Set up in five minutes. Your staff doesn't need to learn anything new.
Guests sign naturally
Place an iPad at the service — or display the QR code and guests sign from their own phones. They write their name, phone, email, and address with any stylus, just like a paper guestbook.
AI reads the handwriting
On submit, the handwriting is transcribed into structured data — name, phone, email, mailing address. Every field, even when it was written in a hurry.
You get clean data
Every entry lands in a clean dashboard you can open from any browser. Export the guest list as a spreadsheet — or the whole book as a keepsake PDF for the family. Use the contacts for aftercare, thank-you cards, and pre-need outreach.
Every guest is an opportunity. Most of them walk out the door.
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.
Pre-need leads, quietly
An optional “interested in planning ahead” toggle captures intent at the moment it's highest — right after a service. One family who plans ahead pays for years of the service.
More 5-star reviews
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.
Aftercare without the labor
Every guest who leaves an email gets a warm thank-you automatically, sent in your name. For the rest of your aftercare — grief resources, the note on the anniversary — the contact list is already clean and already yours, so nobody types a single name.
How much is your guestbook data worth?
Most homes serve 50+ guests a service and never hear from them again. See the revenue you could recover with clean contact data.

Download it, sign up free, and claim your funeral home — no salesperson to wait for. The guestbook is working before your next service.
Sign up free
Download it from the App Store. An email address is all it takes — no credit card, no phone call. Your first two weeks are free.
Claim your funeral home
Find your home and claim it. Your services fill themselves: obituaries already published on your website import automatically.
Share the QR code
Every service gets its own code. Put it on a screen or a card, and families sign from any phone or tablet — at the service or from home.
The iPad is where it’s meant to be signed — pressure-sensitive handwriting on a familiar page, locked to the guestbook with Guided Access. The browser runs everything around it: your dashboard, your contacts, your exports.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Purpose-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.
Claim your home and your services create themselves — obituaries published on your website import automatically, and keep importing as you post new ones.
Each service gets a unique QR code. Display it so guests — even those who couldn't attend — can sign from their own phone.
One tap renders the whole book — cover portrait, every page of handwriting — as a PDF the family keeps forever.
Download any service's guest list as a clean spreadsheet — names, phones, emails, addresses — ready for your aftercare list or your CRM.
Run it all from any browser — your phone, the front-office computer, an Android tablet. Entries and leads appear the moment families sign.
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.
What funeral directors ask.
What iPad do I need?
Any iPad running iPadOS 17 or later, with any stylus. A basic setup runs around $350 — a one-time cost, and often one you already have on hand. The app itself is free on the App Store, and it runs on iPhone too.
What does it cost?
Your first two weeks are free. After that it’s a flat $149 a month, or $1,490 a year, for unlimited services and entries. One pre-need family more than pays for it.
We tried iPads before and it didn't work. How is this different?
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. Sign the live demo yourself — it takes thirty seconds.
Will older guests actually use an iPad?
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.
We sell paper guestbooks. Doesn't this replace that revenue?
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.
How does the pre-need capture work?
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.
What about chapels with no Wi-Fi?
It works completely offline. Entries save locally and sync automatically when a connection becomes available — no hotspot needed during the service.
Do we need an iPad to start?
Not to start. Share each service’s QR code and guests sign from their own phones — or any tablet you already own. But the iPad is the experience this is built for: pressure-sensitive handwriting on a familiar page, locked to the guestbook with Guided Access. It’s on the App Store whenever you’re ready.
See it before your next service.
Sign the live demo and watch a page of handwriting become a typed record. When you’re ready, your first two weeks are free — cancel anytime.
