Passare improves popular Calendar feature with color-coding options

ABILENE, TX – September 10, 2025 – Passare is excited to announce a major improvement to its Calendar feature: color-coding capabilities. Funeral professionals can now better organize their schedules in Passare and highlight the details that matter most to them and their teams.

“The Calendar feature has been a great tool for our customers to help teams stay on the same page about upcoming events,” said Nick Tunheim, Vice President of Client Services at Passare. “Color-coding can easily align with digital whiteboards and provides more customization and enhanced visibility into important details.”

Calendar color-coding works similarly to Passare’s new Whiteboard feature in that users can set color-coding rules for their organization. For example, users can set rules to show each funeral director’s events in a specific color. Or users can make burials one color and cremations another color. Besides the color-coding addition, Calendar has other minor UI improvements, including new icons for repeating and private events, improved spacing and font for better readability, updates to views, and more.

“This Calendar upgrade benefits every Passare user,” continued Tunheim. “Whether you manage multiple locations, team members, or just your daily events, color-coding makes it easy to stay organized with a clear view of your schedule.”

Passare Launches New Feature: Whiteboards

ABILENE, TX – June 13, 2025 – Passare is excited to announce a new Whiteboard feature for customers. Funeral professionals can now organize their case listing with color-coding, icons, and labels for
customization and at-a-glance insights into their cases.

“Most funeral homes still have a physical whiteboard as their central hub to organize and find important case details. The problem is they have to manually update information,” said Nick Tunheim, VP of Client Services. “That’s why it was important for us to recreate a funeral home’s whiteboard as closely as possible in Passare, while including additional customization options and real-time updates.”

Within their case listing, users can set rules for color-coding entire rows or individual cells based on case type, disposition, branch, case status, and more. For example, a funeral home can display different disposition types in specific colors by setting rules, such as cremations in green and burials in blue. If a disposition type isn’t selected, they can set a rule to make that empty cell red to notify staff members to update the case.

“They can also customize how information is displayed within their case listing with labels for initials instead of full names, custom text labels, and more,” Tunheim continued. “With shorthand, users can fit even more information on their whiteboards.”

Another visual improvement Passare has introduced is truncation to maintain a consistent row height so users can view more cases at a glance without scrolling. Information will display on one line, but users can hover over the header to read the full text.

“Our team worked hard to develop enhancements that our customers wanted,” added Kelsey Swearingen, VP of Passare Operations. “With these new options, and several more to come soon, we’re confident that funeral homes can replace their old, dry-erase whiteboards with Passare Whiteboards for better team collaboration and up-to-date information.”
