Sacred Grounds vs. Passare: The Case for True Simplicity

Passare is a leading name, but it comes with enterprise complexity and a high price. Sacred Grounds focuses on simple, elegant workflows for small operators, delivering only what you need at an accessible price point.

Why Small Funeral Homes Struggle with Enterprise Software

Passare has built an impressive reputation in the funeral industry with comprehensive features and enterprise-grade capabilities. However, for small, independent funeral homes with 1-20 employees, this power comes with significant drawbacks that can actually hinder daily operations.

The Hidden Costs of Complexity

  • Training Time: Staff need hours of training to use advanced features they may never need
  • Feature Overload: Important daily tasks get buried under dozens of unused capabilities
  • Higher Costs: You pay for enterprise features designed for funeral chains, not family operations
