Keep your service running smoothly

Funeral directors’ payment processing needs to be straightforward as customers shouldn’t be troubled at a difficult time. Make sure that doesn’t happen with simple payment processing for funeral directors.

It’s not pleasant to ask customers to settle a final balance during a difficult time. This can be avoided by arranging a suitable payment schedule with customers. Use paylinks with automated reminders, pre-authorisations, and delayed capture payments to get paid without chasing them. You can also securely tokenise customers’ card details to process future payments quickly. All customers need to do is confirm the first line of their address or postcode to complete the transaction.

It’s embarrassing to chase customers who have already paid, or to realise you haven’t been paid for a service that was provided weeks ago. However, both can occur when you’re sending multiple PDF invoices every week as they’re hard to track. This won’t be a problem if you’re using our payment features. Check the status of paylinks and payment schedules from your dashboard at any time.

Sending multiple invoices every month quickly spirals out of control. They’re not quick to put together and they get lost in customers’ inboxes. So, you rarely get paid on time. Once you’re set up with a merchant account, you have multiple payment options to offer customers, whether they’re face-to-face, on the phone, or online. Paylinks and repeat payment schedules can be set up in minutes.

FAQ

Answers to common questions

How do funeral directors take payments sensitively without creating stress for bereaved families?

The right approach to payment processing for funeral directors removes friction entirely. Blink Payment allows directors to send a secure paylink to the family via SMS or email at an appropriate moment, rather than presenting a card machine or asking for payment over the phone during a difficult time. Families can pay when they’re ready, from any device, using card, open banking, or Direct Debit. Brett Quinton Funeral Directors use Blink Payment for exactly this reason, saving 5–6 minutes per transaction while keeping the experience straightforward for families.

Can funeral directors take a deposit at the arrangement stage and collect the balance later?

Yes. Pre-authorisation and delayed capture are central to good funeral directors’ payment processing. At the arrangement meeting, the director pre-authorises a card, confirming funds are available, without charging immediately. Once the service is delivered, the balance is captured automatically or via a paylink sent to the family. This protects the funeral home from non-payment without an uncomfortable upfront conversation about money, and it’s a core part of how Blink Payment helps funeral directors reduce time to get paid without disrupting the client experience.

How do funeral directors manage payment plans for families who can't pay in full upfront?

Instalment plans are a common part of payment processing for funeral directors, and Blink Payment handles them automatically. The repeat payments feature lets directors set up an agreed payment schedule with the family’s consent. Instalments are collected via card or Direct Debit on the agreed dates without manual intervention. All scheduled payments and their statuses are visible from the dashboard, so the accounts team always knows exactly where each family’s balance stands. Brett Quinton Funeral Directors describe having everything stored online as making their whole accounts process significantly easier to manage.

What payment methods does Blink Payment support for funeral director clients?

Blink Payment supports card payments, open banking, Direct Debit, and digital wallets, all within one platform. For funeral directors’ payment processing, the most commonly used features are paylinks for remote or self-service payment and the virtual terminal for taking secure card payments over the phone when families prefer to call. All transactions are PCI-compliant and protected by 3D Secure authentication.

eFD by Seker points to Blink Payment’s reliable and secure service, along with its modern technology, as the main reasons their partnership has benefited funeral home clients.

How can a funeral director reduce the admin time spent on payment reconciliation?

Because every transaction flows through one merchant account, payment processing for funeral directors becomes much easier to manage at the end of the period. The transaction report in the dashboard shows every payment by date, amount, and status, and it integrates directly with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage so records seamlessly match to individual cases. This is what reducing payments admin looks like in practice, and our merchants found it made a material difference to the time their accounts team spends on payment admin.
