The Last Desk

The Last Desk is a calm, low-cost case management app for independent UK funeral directors. From the first call to aftercare, it keeps every detail of an arrangement in one organised record — on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, working offline whenever you need it.
Built around how funeral teams actually work, not how software vendors assume they do. No 400 tabs, no enterprise quote, no per-seat pricing.
