How to grow your payments app with funeral directors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
When someone dies, the family often shares the cost of the funeral, and relatives may be spread across towns or countries. Funeral directors then chase several people for payment at a painful time. A payments app that lets each relative pay their share by link can make things easier for everyone, and every family member who pays sees your app.
Talk to funeral directors
Ask local funeral directors:
- How do families pay you today?
- How often is the cost shared between several relatives?
- Do relatives abroad find it hard to send their share?
- What would make taking payment kinder and simpler?
Let each relative pay their share
One payment link per family, shared by message, lets each relative pay what they agreed and lets the funeral director see who has paid.
Keep it gentle
Families are grieving. Clear amounts, simple wording and no pressure matter more here than extra features.
Grow through local partners
Funeral directors work with florists, caterers and places of worship. One funeral director on your app can introduce you to them.
