Ionic Services, Inc. offers all of the information technology and accounting services necessary to operate a funeral home or cemetery.  From our menu, you can select just the services you need to improve the operations of your business. Our services create an operational foundation that your firm can use to better serve your families. For example:

  • We provide additional ways for customers to find and interact with your staff.
  • We provide tools that allow your staff to more efficiently service the families.
  • We assume many administrative tasks that would otherwise take your employees' time and focus from the family.
  • We integrate and automate these components to increase efficiency, profitability and accuracy while reducing complexity and effort, which saves you time and money.
  • We provide reports and analysis that allow you to understand your business and find new ways to improve service and manage your firm more profitably.
  • We customize our services to meet your needs. Because we are providing services instead of selling products we can tailor every feature to meet your firm's exact needs and change the features as your needs change.
  • By providing a wide range of services we can give you one partner to work with and one bill to pay versus having to establish and manage relationships with multiple vendors.
  • We reduce manual effort, redundant data entry, and provide you with quicker responses because of the designed-in integration, automation and compatibility of our products. Each of your components is designed with the others in mind, which usually isn't the case with separate vendor products.

  • Daily backups of all data and offsite storage to provide you with complete coverage in spite of equipment failures or other disasters that would cause loss of data in local storage environments.
