A calm, focused iOS app to manage arrangements, checklists, documents, contacts, and fleet. Your data stays on your device. No subscription.
Funeral directors often rely on paper files, spreadsheets, diaries, and memory to manage important case details. That makes it harder to keep track of everything involved in an arrangement.
From the first call to the final service, there are dozens of details that need to be tracked, shared with the team, and handled with care. When those details live across different systems — or no system at all — things get missed.
The Last Desk brings these records into one simple workspace — on your phone, offline if needed, with no subscription and no data leaving your hands.
A focused set of tools built around how funeral directors actually work — not how software vendors assume they do.
A full digital record for each arrangement — deceased details, coffin selection, flower choices, cremation or burial specifics, ceremony notes, music, officiant, bearers, service sheets, and memorial notices. Auto-numbered with your own case prefix.
Customisable task templates applied automatically to every new case. Track progress across five categories — first call, arrangement, ceremony, admin, and aftercare. Assign tasks with due dates and overdue alerts.
Attach any file from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, or the iOS Files app. Scan physical documents with your camera in multi-page sessions — saved as PDFs directly in the case. Attach photos from your library too.
Service, cremation, burial, chapel visit, and meeting dates per case — with location, staff, and transport notes. A unified Schedule view shows all upcoming events across every active case.
Record next of kin and family contacts with phone, email, address, and relationship. Flag the primary contact. Add timestamped case notes with your name — a running log of calls, decisions, and conversations.
Track crematorium, cemetery, celebrant, florist, transport, and other suppliers with booking references, contact details, and confirmation status — all linked to the case.
Line-item payments with outstanding, part paid, paid, or waived status. Outstanding balance totals calculated per case. Clear enough to be useful without replacing your accounts system.
Track hearse, limousines, and support vehicles with MOT, road tax, and insurance expiry dates. Automatic reminders 30 and 7 days before anything lapses. Expired alerts shown immediately on the Fleet screen.
Today's services, this week's events, and overdue tasks on the Dashboard. Reports show case volume, revenue, service type breakdown, and task completion — across any time period.

Built from scratch around the way independent funeral directors actually manage cases — from first call through to aftercare.
The Last Desk is built for the people who run arrangements day to day — not large corporate chains with enterprise IT teams and a helpdesk in a different postcode.
It is not intended to be a huge corporate funeral management system with 400 tabs and the emotional warmth of a tax portal.
Designed to be quiet, clear, and respectful — not another shouty productivity machine pretending grief is a sales pipeline.
Case records are stored on your device or in your personal iCloud account. Nothing leaves your control — no external servers, no data harvesting.
One payment of £19.99 unlocks the app permanently. No monthly fees, no plan tiers, no surprises. All future updates included.
Everything runs on-device. No internet connection needed to access your cases, update records, or check the schedule. Sync happens when you're online.
All key details, documents, tasks, notes, and dates in one case record — easily searchable and always up to date.
Customisable checklist templates help your team follow a consistent process from first call to aftercare, for every arrangement.
MOT and insurance reminders for your vehicles, upcoming service dates at a glance, and case statistics — without needing a separate system.
Funeral records contain sensitive information about real people and real families. The Last Desk is a standalone app — there are no external servers, no accounts to create, and no data leaving your device.
All case records are stored using Apple's SwiftData framework, on your device or in your personal iCloud account. We have no access to your data at any time.
No subscription. No plan tiers. No price increases after you buy.
14-day free trial included on download — no payment required to start.
