Families, funeral homes, synagogues and community leaders

# The hard calls,  
made gently

In the days after a death there are forty people to tell and no strength to tell them. A funeral director, a rabbi or the eldest daughter ends up on the phone for hours, repeating the same time and address. One quiet WhatsApp, opening with the family's name, carries the service details to everyone at once, with Attending and Unable to attend buttons so the family knows who is coming to the graveside and how many to expect at the shiva house. Reminders go only to those who have not answered, and only inside daytime hours.

WhatsApp

This is the Goldstein family. Our father, Harold Goldstein, passed away on Sunday. The funeral is Tuesday at 11 AM at Beth Shalom Cemetery, Fairfield. Shiva follows at the family home. Will you be able to attend?

AttendingShiva onlyUnable to attend

Attending

Thank you. The address and parking details will come Tuesday morning. We are grateful for your presence.

## How it works

1

### Gather the names

Paste names and numbers from the family's phone contacts or a spreadsheet. A group column for family, synagogue, colleagues or neighbors helps the family know who has heard.

2

### Write the notice once

The name, the time, the place, the shiva hours. Three buttons with gentle labels. WhatsApp approves the wording within about a day, and funeral homes that send often keep a template ready.

3

### Send once, remind softly

Those who answer hear nothing more. Those who stay silent get one reminder inside daytime hours. People without WhatsApp receive the same notice by text from a toll-free number.

4

### Know who is coming

The dashboard shows attending, shiva only and unable, per group. A morning-of message carries the address and parking note, and a thank-you afterwards goes to everyone who came.

## What you get

### No phone tree

One send replaces a chain of calls between relatives who are already exhausted. The details arrive correct and complete, every time.

### A name people recognize

The message opens with the family's name or the funeral home's name and signs off with it, from a verified business number, so nobody wonders whether it is real.

### Condolences are kept

When someone replies with a memory or a blessing instead of tapping, the message is read, filed under their answer, and saved for the family to read later.

### A count for the house

Shiva only and attending counts tell the family how many chairs, how much food and whether the minyan is covered.

## What works today

-   One list per service: the funeral, the shiva, the unveiling or a memorial a year on.
-   Three buttons with gentle labels, one reminder to the silent inside daytime hours, a morning-of message and a thank-you.
-   Counts per answer and per group, a spreadsheet export, and a check-in screen for the memorial book.
-   Text fallback for US numbers without WhatsApp.

## What comes next

-   A shared inbox so several family members can read condolence replies together.
-   A connection to funeral home management software so the list is created from the case file.

## Questions businesses ask

Straight answers before you send anything.

### Is a WhatsApp appropriate for a death notice?

### What does the recipient see?

### Can a funeral home use this for every family?

### What does it cost?

### Can someone opt out, and what happens to the list afterwards?

## Try it with your own list this week.
