For funeral homes

Your families no longer have to deal with contracts themselves.

You give your families a link. Within seconds we find the running contracts, including the ones that are in no folder, and cancel or transfer them. There are no running costs and no payment risk for your funeral home.

Cancellation service

What keeps running after the farewell,
we find.

Within seconds we detect the running contracts from the account transactions, including the ones nobody remembered.

With forms

The family has to know which contracts exist. The forgotten contracts are often the ones left behind.

With Still Alive

Our technology automatically detects the regular payments from the account transactions, BaFin-regulated. If there are several accounts, the family simply connects all of them. Depending on the case, there are 15 to 40 contracts. Only what is paid in cash does not show up in any account.

Save work

No questions about cancellations, no paperwork for your team.

Relieve families

No cancellation letters, no waiting on hold. Even children who live far away can handle everything from home.

The family decides

For every contract the family decides: cancel, transfer or keep.

This simple

One link.
Nothing more.

  2. We cancel or transfer contractsThe family connects the deceased person's accounts and decides for each contract: cancel, transfer or keep. We do the rest.

We handle every question

We answer all of the families' questions, by phone as well, and make sure every family is satisfied. With no work for you.

Contract & security

Clearly settled
before you start.

You decide per family

No fixed-term contract, no minimum volume. You recommend the service to whomever and whenever you like: five times in one week or not at all for a year.

No payment risk

We invoice the family directly. If a family does not pay, your funeral home bears no loss.

Data protection

fino still alive UG is responsible for the family's data, and the servers are located in an ISO 27001-certified data centre in Germany. Your funeral home does not see any account data, and no one can move money through the account connection.

Liability

Your funeral home only recommends the service. The family's contractual partner is fino still alive UG, which is liable in accordance with the statutory provisions. The family approves every cancellation individually beforehand.

Who may connect the account

Whoever has access to the deceased person's account: heirs, authorised representatives or relatives with the login details.

What funeral homes say

Funeral home partner
“As a funeral director, you ask yourself with every new provider: do they really understand what matters in our profession? With Still Alive the answer was clear quickly. They think of the families first.”
Mia FleischerVitaNova Bestattungskultur · Munich
“In the back of their minds are the contracts, the accounts, the calls nobody wants to make. Anything that takes this off families in this moment gives them back what they need: room to grieve.”
Maresa MatzekFuneral celebrant · Munich
Guarantee for your families

The family never pays more than it saves.

If the family saves less than €100 through the cancellations, we refund the difference. Nothing changes for your funeral home.

FAQ

What funeral homes often ask us

We already have a solution for this.

You do not need to switch. Still Alive runs alongside your software. The difference: we also find the forgotten contracts instead of just filling in forms.

Our families do not need this.

Your families decide that themselves. After a death, many do not know which contracts are still running. You offer the service, and whether the family uses it is up to them.

How do you find the contracts?

The family connects the deceased person's account through the BaFin-regulated technology of the fino group. From this we automatically detect the regular payments within seconds. No one can move money through the connection.

Who may connect the deceased person's account?

Whoever has access to the account: heirs, authorised representatives or relatives with the online banking login details.

What about relatives without online banking?

Online banking is only needed by one person with access to the account, which can also be an authorised representative acting for the family. If there is no one, the family can also enter the contracts themselves.

Is the service available in other languages?

Yes. The service can be provided in all common languages. Tell us which languages your families need.

Does our funeral home see the families' account data?

No. Your funeral home does not see the account data. You only see that your family is using the service.

Which contracts can be cancelled?

Everything that is paid regularly from the account: insurance and funeral plans, electricity and gas, phone and internet, TV licence, newspapers, subscriptions and streaming, memberships, loans and savings plans. The family decides for each contract whether to cancel, transfer or keep it. What is paid in cash does not show up in the account.

What does it cost us?

No running costs. A small, individually agreed fee applies for the set-up. The family pays €100 once, of which €25 go to your funeral home. If you prefer, you waive it and the family pays €75.

Who invoices the family?

We invoice the family directly, you write no invoice and bear no payment risk. For the family it remains a service of your funeral home.

How does billing work?

We transfer your share monthly, with an overview of all completed cases.

How long are we committed?

Not at all. There is no fixed-term contract. You recommend the service whenever and to whomever you like.

Do we need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in the browser. You get your link and can start right away.

Is it worth it for a small funeral home?

There is no minimum volume and no running costs. Whether five or five hundred deaths a year: you only pass on the link when it suits the family.

We are a branch business or a group.
