Text-to-pay feature integrates seamlessly with your funeral home POS system
ARISE’s Quick Payments feature makes payments for grieving families effortless, no matter where they’re located. This unique text-to-pay tool instantly generates a web link or QR code to send to one or more individuals via phone SMS message or any other messaging method. Reduce payment delays and give families a simple, stress-free option to pay over the phone or in person when their physical credit card is not present.
Our industry-leading death care payment solutions feature flexible invoicing & installments
Ease the burden on families, and your staff, with compassionate, convenient payment options through automated invoicing and future-dated installments. Whether you’re handling pre-need plans or at-need arrangements, families can pay on their own time—even splitting a single invoice across siblings with individual pay-links. It’s billing built for the realities of death care.
More convenient payment processing options for funeral homes
Give families a secure, bank-to-bank payment option that reduces processing fees and save your funeral home hundreds per month on large service tickets. ACH payments let clients authorize one-time or recurring payments directly from their bank accounts. It’s a trusted, frictionless alternative to credit cards that protects your margins while giving families the flexibility they need during stressful, difficult times.
Protect your margins with zero-cost credit card processing for funeral homes
Offset rising card fees with compliant zero-cost processing—allowing you to pass along processing costs transparently to families who choose credit while offering no-fee options like ACH. With average service tickets ranging from $7,000 to $10,000, even a small percentage saved per transaction adds up fast. Keep your pricing clear, your revenue intact, and your focus where it belongs—on caring for families, not covering card fees.
