Know what's compliant.
Know what isn't.
Know what the FTC will ask.
Funeral Sentry replaces the binders, Word docs, and shared drives behind Funeral Rule compliance with a single record per location — tracking every GPL version, disclosure delivered, signature captured, and rule that's about to change.

01The Problem
Compliance shouldn't live in a binder behind reception.
Most funeral homes find out their GPL is out of date when a family complains, or worse, when an FTC investigator requests records. Funeral Sentry turns the patchwork of Word docs, paper logs, and director's memory into a single defensible record per location.

02The Platform
Nine modules. One compliance record.
Each module owns a slice of the Funeral Rule lifecycle and feeds the same record — so the GPL versioner, the audit trail engine, and the compliance dashboard never disagree about what's true.
Location Registry
A central record for every funeral home, branch, cemetery, and combo operation — each with its own GPL, staff roster, and regulatory profile.
GPL / CPL / OBCPL Manager
Version-controlled price lists — General, Casket, and Outer Burial Container — with audit-grade retention, change history, and one-tap publishing.
Disclosure Delivery
Every required disclosure — telephone, in-person, itemized statement — logged at the moment it's made, with timestamp, deliverer, and recipient acknowledgment.
Audit Trail Engine
Per-arrangement defensible records sealed with hash integrity. Discovery-ready, retained per state minimum. Designed for counsel-grade documentation workflows.
Staff Training & Certification
Annual Funeral Rule training tracked per staff member. Built-in courseware, signature capture, renewal alerts, and completion records for any state board audit.
Risk Intelligence
Real-time compliance scoring per location, with predictive flags for what's about to lapse. Cross-location risk index for groups with multiple homes.
Regulatory Monitor
Federal FTC amendments and state rule changes flow into your obligations automatically. No legal review subscription required — the platform is the subscription.
Multi-Location Dashboard
Corporate compliance posture across every location you operate. Sort by risk, drill into specifics, propagate policy changes, generate board-ready reports.
Litigation Defense Vault
The module nobody wants until they need it. Sealed records, witness affidavit support, discovery exports, and a counsel-reviewed workflow for active matters.
03How it works
From paper binder to defensible record. In 30 days.
Funeral Sentry goes live by location, not by feature toggle. Most independent homes are fully migrated inside three weeks. Multi-location groups roll out one region at a time, on a schedule we set with you.
Map every location.
We import your existing GPLs, scan your staff records, configure your state license overlays, and assign roles. One location at a time, or all at once for groups.
Set your rules of record.
Define your disclosure workflows, renewal cadences, retention periods, and escalation paths. Every funeral home runs slightly differently — the platform adapts.
Continuous, by default.
From the day you go live, every arrangement generates a record. Every staff member’s training is tracked. Every regulatory change flows to your obligations.
When the audit comes, you’re ready.
Whether it’s an FTC inquiry, a state board review, or a plaintiff’s discovery request — your records are sealed, signed, and exportable in minutes, not days.

05Compliance Intelligence
The dashboard answers questions before you ask them.
Funeral Sentry doesn't just store records — it interprets them. Which locations are highest-risk? Which staff need retraining? Which GPL is overdue? Surfaced continuously, not on demand.
06The alternatives
Compared to what you're using now.
Most funeral homes are stitching together Word documents, paper binders, and generic compliance tools. None of them know what a CPL is, none track cremation authorization chain of custody, and none survive an FTC document request without manual scrambling.
Start with the audit
When the FTC arrives,
be the home that's ready.
A 30-day audit is enough to surface every gap in your current compliance posture and put a defensible record in place. No commitment to continue — keep the readiness report either way.
