Funeral Home Edition
The fastest, most cost-efficient way for Funeral Homes to manage death certificates.
Instantly access death certificates ready for completion via eCedent's secure online network.
So many records and documents are now handled via computer, but death certificates have been stuck in the past. eCedent finally brings the process into the 21st century!
For funeral homes, the death certificate process can be an enormous frustration. "Chasing" physicians to get death certificates signed is not only time-consuming, but costly and inefficient as well.
Now funeral homes can process death certificates in just minutes through eCedent's secure online network. When a physician is notified of a death, he or she simply logs onto the eCedent website, completes a few data items, then signs the death certificate electronically. Participating funeral homes never have to track a physician down to get a signature. See how it works.
You can also complete your portion of the death certificate before the physician has applied his or her electronic signature. Also, in situations where a home or assisted care facility death has occurred, you'll be able to initiate the death certificate yourself. You can then electronically assign the death certificate to the physician in charge. When the death certificate is complete, print the official copy from your computer and mail it at your convenience.
Boost your business with eCedent's time and money saving benefits, and concentrate on providing better, more personalized service to families.
