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 clear digital record for each arrangement — deceased details, service information, coffin and flower choices, status, and internal notes. Auto-numbered with your own prefix.
Customisable task templates applied to every new case. Track progress by category — first call, arrangement, ceremony, admin, and aftercare. Assign tasks to staff members.
Attach files from iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. Scan physical documents with your camera — saved as PDFs directly in the case record.
Service dates, crematorium bookings, chapel visits, and meetings — all in a chronological timeline with location, staff, and transport notes per event.
Record next of kin and family contacts with phone, email, address, and relationship. Flag the primary contact. Note key conversations and preferences.
Track crematorium, cemetery, celebrant, florist, transport, and other suppliers — with booking references and confirmation status per case.
Record payments and outstanding balances in GBP. Outstanding, part paid, paid, or waived — clear enough to be useful without replacing your accounts system.
Track hearse, limousines, and support vehicles. MOT, road tax, and insurance expiry with automatic reminders 30 and 7 days before each date expires.
Upcoming services across all active cases in one view. Case volume charts, revenue summaries, overdue task counts, and service type breakdowns.

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.
Coming to the App Store. 14-day free trial included on download.
