Funeral Guestbook

Features

Built for funeral services

Every feature is designed specifically for the funeral home environment. Not a generic form app with a guestbook skin.

AI Handwriting Transcription

Our AI reads handwritten entries and converts them into structured contact data. Name, phone number, email address, and mailing address — even from messy handwriting.

  • Processes entries in seconds after submission
  • Handles cursive, print, and mixed handwriting styles
  • Extracts structured fields: name, phone, email, address
  • Review and edit transcriptions in the dashboard

Natural Signing Experience

Built with Apple PencilKit for a writing experience that feels like pen on paper. Guests sign naturally — no typing, no tapping, no learning curve.

  • Apple Pencil support with pressure sensitivity
  • Finger signing also supported for guests without a stylus
  • Familiar guestbook layout: name, phone, email, address fields
  • Optional "interested in funeral planning" toggle for pre-need leads

QR Code Sharing

Each service gets a unique short link and QR code. Display it at the service so guests who can’t attend in person — or prefer their own phone — can still sign the guestbook.

  • Auto-generated QR code for every service
  • Share via iOS share sheet (AirDrop, text, email)
  • Unique short URL: funeral.link/q/{code}
  • Track visits and remote signatures

Guestbook PDF Export

Generate a beautiful PDF of all guestbook entries. Share it with the family as a modern keepsake — one that will never get lost, stained, or fade.

  • Download directly from the options menu
  • Includes all entries with original handwriting images
  • Clean, professional layout suitable for printing
  • Share digitally or print for the family

Guided Access Lock

Lock the iPad to the guestbook app during services using iOS Guided Access. Guests can sign but can’t navigate away, open Safari, or check email.

  • Built-in setup guide walks you through enabling Guided Access
  • Triple-click to start and stop — staff only
  • Prevents guests from leaving the app accidentally
  • Optional staff PIN for accessing settings menu

Works Offline

No Wi-Fi at the church? No problem. Entries are saved locally on the iPad and sync automatically when a connection becomes available.

  • Full functionality without internet during the service
  • Entries queued locally with automatic retry
  • Visual indicator shows connection status
  • Seamless sync when back online

Multiple Services

Running multiple services? Manage them all from one iPad. Each service has its own guestbook, entries, QR code, and settings.

  • Create and switch between services easily
  • Add memorial photo, birth date, and death date
  • Edit details anytime
  • Search and filter by name

Staff PIN Protection

Set a PIN to protect the settings menu. Guests can sign freely, but only staff with the PIN can access the settings, switch services, or log out.

  • 4-digit PIN set during initial onboarding
  • Required to access the secret settings menu (5-tap on photo)
  • Change, remove, or disable PIN from preferences
  • Can be disabled permanently per device
