In March’s edition of Homesteaders’ Headlines, we offer a note of appreciation for funeral professionals, special Homesteaders news, plus exciting announcements to streamline your funeral home business.

Homesteaders is excited to announce an integration with The Director’s Assistant Web (TDAW), a widely used case management platform built by Continental Computers. This partnership will allow funeral professionals to connect their preneed data with their existing case management system, helping streamline workflows and improve accessibility. “Case management is a crucial part of everyday operations for many funeral homes,” emphasized Lyndon Peterson, Homesteaders EVP-Sales and Marketing. “With many funeral homes already relying on Continental for their case management needs, integrating our preneed data with their TDAW platform helps funeral professionals access and manage their preneed policies more efficiently and provide a better experience for families they serve.” Read the full announcement on our website: https://hubs.ly/Q03bWj_n0
