Partner outcomes summary — Sample Hospice
Aggregate, de-identified family outcomes · prepared by Honest Funeral
Sample Hospice
What your families experienced — funeral-pricing advocacy, free to them and neutral by design.
across 14families you referred — money that stayed with them, not the funeral home.
Pilot metrics
Savings measured against the metro’s median fair price (not just the family’s own quote). Benefit dollars are amounts families actually recovered (VA, SSA, insurance, county). Satisfaction share = families rating 4–5 of 5.
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.
14 families referred through this hospice completed cases, and 13 of them caught an overcharge — $24,175 total, $1,727 on average. 17 likely FTC Funeral Rule issues were flagged along the way. Families rated their experience 4.7 of 5 on average. Typical time to resolution was 4 days.
What this means for Sample Hospice
- Families who felt supported. Every family genuinely supported through the funeral and the paperwork finishes the year knowing their hospice stood by them — the kind of care your bereavement program exists to deliver.
- Documented mandate coverage. Evidence you supported families across the funeral-and-admin part of the year-long bereavement window Medicare requires (42 CFR 418.64(d)) and doesn’t separately fund.
- Staff hours back. The funeral-pricing and after-death questions your counselors field but weren’t resourced for — handled.
“A four-figure casket overcharge caught before signing, with exact language for the pushback — the kind of intervention the checker exists for.”
— Illustrative scenario — no real family data yet
“Death-certificate markups flagged, and the weeks-after checklist covering the part families don't know they need.”
— Illustrative scenario — no real family data yet

How these figures are made: every number aggregates outcomes recorded on the referred families’ own cases (headline 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: 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.
