Our Story

Built by Funeral Professionals
for Funeral Professionals

Memorial Management System was created by people who understand the daily challenges of running a funeral home because they've lived them firsthand.

Billi-Jo Goodwin

Founder & CEO

With over a decade of hands-on experience in funeral service, Billi-Jo understood firsthand the frustrations of juggling multiple disconnected systems, outdated software, and processes that hadn't evolved with the times.

Memorial Management System was born from a simple question: "Why isn't there software that does everything we need, at a price we can afford?" Rather than wait for someone else to build it, Billi-Jo set out to create the comprehensive, intuitive platform that funeral professionals deserve.

Today, Memorial Management System reflects that vision: a single, unified platform that handles everything from first call to final disposition, built with the care and attention to detail that the death care industry demands.

Why We Created the Memorial Management Platform

Memorial Management was created because the tools available to funeral homes and crematories did not reflect how this work actually happens.

Most existing platforms focus on digitizing paperwork, but they overlook the reality of day-to-day operations: multiple cases moving at once, regulatory requirements, crematory coordination, staff handoffs, family communication, tax distinctions, and the constant pressure to not miss a step.

We built Memorial Management from inside real funeral home operations to solve problems we were living with every day.

The problems we set out to fix

  • Entering the same information over and over across different forms
  • Tracking cases on whiteboards, sticky notes, spreadsheets, and memory
  • Unclear responsibility for tasks and missed steps under pressure
  • Software that treated cremation as an afterthought
  • Financial and tax categorization that didn't reflect funeral home reality
  • Disconnected tools that created more work instead of less

What we believed had to be different

We believed funeral home software should:

  • Let information be entered once and used everywhere it's needed
  • Show, at a glance, what's complete and what still needs attention
  • Support both funeral home and crematory workflows properly
  • Respect the difference between services, merchandise, cash advances, and tax treatment
  • Separate staff operations from family-facing access clearly
  • Reduce mental load on staff, not add to it

How Memorial Management approaches this work

Memorial Management was designed to replace fragmented systems with one platform that supports:

  • Case and decedent management
  • Workflow and task visibility
  • Funeral home and crematory coordination
  • Multi-location operations
  • Cleaner financial organization for downstream accounting

It is not meant to be flashy or complicated. It is meant to be practical, dependable, and built around real workflows.

Our goal

Our goal was simple: to create a platform that helps funeral homes spend less time managing systems and more time caring for families — without sacrificing accuracy, accountability, or clarity.
