Are families comfortable paying for funerals online?

Earlier this year, Passare conducted a report gaining insight on consumer habits based on over 250,000 at-need cases in their software.

They found that in 2023, 42% of families used insurance or credit cards to pay for the funeral service.

That means you need reliable options available for every payment type - even life insurance assignments.

In honor of today being National Nonprofit Day, check out this story of giving back from Misty Rose, Verification Specialist at Claimcheck.

Earlier this year, Misty participated in a company-sponsored sabbatical. During that time, she gave back to the community by serving at the food bank in Sweetwater, TX.

While there, the staff told Misty her kindheartedness had a positive impact on their organization and those they served. The service project also impacted her own life:

"Serving others impacted me in a way that I could show my children that giving and loving is the best part of life."

To share the spirit of service with her kids, Misty and her family volunteered to mow the cemetery where her mother is buried.

These acts of generosity make our communities a better place. Thank you, Misty, for sharing your experience.
