Sacred Grounds vs. TerraPro: Modern Cloud vs. Legacy Desktop Solutions
TerraPro offers 30+ years of experience with desktop-based cemetery management starting at $100/month. Sacred Grounds provides modern cloud-based funeral home management at $49/month with mobile access anywhere.
The Desktop Software Limitation Problem
TerraPro brings three decades of cemetery management experience with comprehensive features for cemetery operations, pre-need management, and financial reporting. However, their desktop-based approach creates significant limitations for modern funeral homes that need mobility, remote access, and integrated workflows.
- Location Bound: Can only access records from the office computer where software is installed
- Higher Costs: $100+/month plus $750 setup fee vs. cloud alternatives
- Backup Risks: Data stored locally requires manual backup and disaster recovery planning
