Invite the family to join
Families don’t have to be in the same town to begin planning. With the Planning Center, they can start planning from any location, on any internet-connected device. 💻
Log into Planning Center
Once the family receives the text or email invitation, they'll be prompted to log into Planning Center by creating an account or using one-time passcode.
Families will be able to use the Planning Center on their phone, laptop, or tablet.
Create an account
The family can create a Planning Center account from the link provided in their invite.
At this screen, first-time users will select Start Planning.
Next, they will create a password and retype it to confirm.
Click Continue to begin planning.
One-time passcode
Alternatively, families can skip the account creation altogether by using one-time passcode login.
At the login screen, they will select Or, sign in with a one-time passcode.
They will receive a 6-digit code via email or text, depending on what information is stored in
the case. If both are provided, the family can select how they'd like to receive the code.
Once they receive their passcode, the family will enter it and Sign in.
❌ Heads up! For security reasons, passcodes will expire after 10 minutes. If the family encounters an error here, they should Resend passcode.

Collect important information
The family can collect and fill out basic information for their loved one before or after you meet. Any information the family shares will populate in the decedent's case in Passare.
Decedent's information
Have the family enter biographical information before you meet to save time on paperwork, allowing more time to focus on planning a meaningful service.
Obituary
Planning Center allows you to collaborate on the obituary so you can be sure nothing gets missed!
Write the obituary in the decedent's case in Passare and have the family Approve your progress or have the family use a template to get started. You can take what they write and finish it in Passare.
Either way the family will feel involved during the entire planning process.

Plan a meaningful service
The family can learn from planning resources, share their preferences, and add family members to help them plan.
Funeral details
The questions under funeral details can be used as a prompt to help the family begin thinking about the service they want for their loved one.
Use their responses to brainstorm ideas before the arrangement conference.
Checklists
Add checklists in Passare so the family will know what to bring to the arrangement conference.
You can also make your checklists viewable so the family will know when you've completed tasks, such as filing the death certificate.
