How families used the tools

Server-recorded artifacts only — most tools run privately on the family’s own device, so these are floors, not totals. Aggregate counts; never who.

What this means for Sample Hospice

  • Referral reputation. Every family who felt genuinely supported through the funeral and the paperwork is the family who recommends you — and tells the hospital, the SNF, and the physician who refers to you.
  • Documented mandate coverage. Evidence you supported families across the funeral-and-admin part of the ~13-month bereavement window Medicare requires (42 CFR 418.64) and doesn’t separately fund.
  • Staff hours back.The funeral-pricing and after-death questions your counselors field but weren’t resourced for — handled.

They caught a $2,000 overcharge on the casket and told me exactly what to say. I finally felt like someone was on my side.

I had no idea the death certificates were marked up. The checklist for the weeks after was the part I didn't know I needed.

Aggregate, de-identified outcomes only — never an individual family’s details. Honest Funeral takes no money from funeral homes or insurers. Free to families. We never steer.

How these figures are made: every number aggregates outcomes recorded on the referred families’ own cases (savings measured against the family’s own original quote; satisfaction as reported by the family). Cohorts under 5 families suppress dollar and satisfaction figures so no individual family is identifiable. Tool-engagement figures count server-recorded artifacts only and understate real usage. Full methodology: honestfuneral.co/methodology.

What this is not: an informational summary of aggregate family outcomes — not a CMS or CAHPS instrument, not a compliance certification or survey substitute, and it implies no endorsement by CMS or any regulator.
