A fair look at FuneralManager.
Funeral Manager is one of the longest-running funeral director systems in the UK, first developed in the early 1990s and rebuilt as a cloud platform in 2020. It generates paperwork, takes payments through Apple Pay, Google Pay and Open Banking, integrates with Xero, and is priced per funeral with monthly billing. It is a well-regarded system. It does not list eSignatures or AI, and it names only one accounts package. This page shows you, factually, where EverlyPro goes further and exactly what moving involves.

The same funeral, the same family, a very different afternoon for your team.
Where EverlyPro stands out

FAQ
Switching from FuneralManager, answered.
Yes. Data migration, onboarding and training are included on every plan. There is no setup fee and no charge based on how many records you have.
Most funeral homes are fully live within two weeks. On day one we import your data and connect your accounting software. By the end of week one your team is tracking cases. By week two payments, documents and AI are all active.
No. Active cases, archived funerals, contacts and financial history all come across, and you verify the import before you go live. Your data stays yours: you can export everything from EverlyPro at any time.
Yes, and we recommend it. Keep read access to your old system while you check the migration. New cases go into EverlyPro from your agreed go-live date, so there is never a day when your team has nowhere to work.
Yes. Historical funerals, contacts and financial history are imported alongside your open cases. The archive is searchable in EverlyPro exactly as it was, and you can export it again at any time.
Yes. During onboarding we connect EverlyPro to your existing Xero organisation. Invoices and payments raised in EverlyPro post to Xero automatically. QuickBooks and Sage are supported in the same way.
Whatever Funeral Manager can give you. CSV, Excel, PDF reports or a database export all work. We handle the mapping and clean-up. You do not need to reformat anything first.
Talk to us. Many funeral homes start onboarding a few weeks before their existing term ends so that day one on EverlyPro is a clean switch. EverlyPro itself is month to month with no minimum term and a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Yes. Data is transferred over encrypted connections, stored in EU data centres and encrypted at rest and in transit using 256-bit encryption. EverlyPro is fully GDPR compliant. Case data is never sold, and it is only processed by the providers we need to run the service, such as hosting and payments, under GDPR-compliant agreements. Our Privacy Policy lists them.
