In cremation,
there is no undo.

One wrong authorization or one broken chain of custody can end a business your family built over generations. Serenis runs every cremation case from the family’s first click to the final return, and leaves a record that proves every step.

One case, end to end

Everything one cremation case needs, from first click to final follow-up.

Not a stack of point tools. One system that wins the case, runs it to the letter of the law, proves every step, and keeps the family close.

Case Workflow

Every case runs through the steps the law requires. Serenis will not let a cremation proceed until the right signer, the releases, and the permit are all in hand.

  • Right authorizing agent, verified
  • Medical examiner release and permit
  • Cremation locked until every step clears

Compliance, by jurisdiction

Every state and province is different. Serenis knows the difference.

The authorizing-agent order, the medical examiner trigger, the waiting period, the permit deadline, all different by jurisdiction. We encode them, and keep them current as the law moves.

What you’re up against

Two things are coming for your business.

The mistake

A mistake you can’t take back.

Cremation is irreversible. One wrong authorization, one misidentified decedent, and a case becomes a lawsuit, a license review, a headline. Sometimes the end of a business three generations built.

$950Mwhat one mistake has already cost.
The erosion

Families who used to call you.

Families price-shop long before they ever call. 55% now compare homes first, up from 13%. Nearly a third will book the funeral fully online, and venture-backed sites are glad to take it.

$995what a website now charges for the case.

At any scale

One group. Every location. One standard.

See every case across every home, govern who can do what, report at the portfolio level, and bring a newly acquired home live in days, not months.

Why switch

Built for the work cremation providers actually carry. And the systems you already run.

What your team carries
  1. 01

    Paper and phone work spread across too many places.

  2. 02

    Legal steps that can’t live in staff memory.

  3. 03

    Handoffs that need a record everyone can trust.

And it fits what you already have

Works alongside

The case manager you already run. Passare, SRS, CRäKN, keep it.

Connects to

EDRS, QuickBooks, and payments. Nothing typed twice.

Your data, your call

Export anytime, no hostage fees. We set it up with you.

If your team can use a phone, they can use this. Built with funeral directors and crematory operators.

See one case move through Serenis.

Because in cremation, trust is built on what never goes wrong.
