Connecting Leaders. Transforming Care.™
Modern funeral management software built by funeral professionals — now available to Selected members with dedicated support for a smooth transition from legacy systems.
Independent, Like the Firms We Serve
The funeral homes in the Selected network built their reputations on independence. So did we. Kindred is made by LarkTek — an independent, family-owned software company with no venture capital or private-equity ownership. The partner you choose today will still be independent, and still answerable to you, years from now.
Independently owned
No outside investors deciding our direction — just the firms we serve.
Family-operated
Built and run by the Larkin family, whose Larkin Mortuary has served families for 141 years.
Answerable to you
Our roadmap is shaped by the firms who use Kindred, not a boardroom.
Kindred sits at the center of the LarkTek ecosystem. If your Selected firm is vertically integrated, its cemetery, vault, monument, and floral teams can work from the same case. An order placed in Kindred flows to Sunset, Petra, and Orkyd. No re-keying.
Kindred
Funeral management
Built by LarkTek, the same independent, family-owned company behind Kindred. Especially useful when one firm owns more than the funeral home.
Switching funeral software often means paying thousands for professional onboarding and data migration. For qualifying Selected members who move to Kindred, we include both at no charge — so your team can focus on families, not file conversions or unexpected transition costs.
Typically thousands of dollars in savings when you switch to Kindred
Hands-on setup tailored to your locations, workflows, forms, and pricing — guided by our team who understand funeral home operations from the inside, at no cost to eligible Selected members.
We migrate cases, contacts, contracts, and historical records from your previous platform so you start on Kindred with continuity — not a blank slate — without the migration fees many vendors charge.
Complimentary onboarding and migration are available to all Selected Independent Funeral Homes members who switch to Kindred. Contact us to confirm eligibility for your firm.
Selected empowers independently owned firms to achieve enduring excellence. Kindred shares that commitment — secure, web-based software that scales with your firm while keeping families at the center of every decision.

Testimonials
Kindred is much more than a case management system. It gives us the ability to easily track the data that matters and drives real, actionable change and ongoing improvement in how we operate. Their automations help our staff work more efficiently and deliver a noticeably better experience to the families we serve.
What sets Kindred apart is their commitment to constant improvement and iteration. In today's AI-driven world, choosing software isn't just about where a product is today — but where the team behind it will be a year from now, and the year after that. Software is moving faster than it ever has, and you need a partner who is genuinely staying at the cutting edge. Kindred is that partner for us.
Kindred is the absolute best thing to happen to funeral home software. [Kindred] has built a system that is not only intuitive to funeral directors, but is also customized to the way my firm does business. [Kindred] and their team have been open to all our suggestions and have been quick to make the adjustments we've asked for.
The system is built so that you can add on additional features when you're ready — something we look forward to doing as our team gets used to the new software. We are incredibly pleased with Kindred and are eager to use it to better serve our families.
I can’t say enough good things about Kindred and their staff! We had been using an older system that no longer met our needs and began researching new systems three years ago. We looked at and tested a lot of different systems, and each had their own strengths, but all were lacking in one aspect or another. Kindred has it all!
The system and the staff are progressive, easy to work with, and obviously come from “the business” because of the intuitive look and feel of everything. The system is fully customizable, and the support team really takes their time to understand what you need and want…then they make it happen! If you are looking for a comprehensive solution that makes your Directors, Admin Staff, Accounting, and Owners all happy, you’ve found it. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I am happy to share my experience with you.
I absolutely love Kindred. It is clear that it was built with funeral directors in mind and with a genuine understanding of how funeral homes operate. It is intuitive and easy to use, while still providing the depth and breadth of capabilities a funeral home could want from a modern management system.
One of the things I appreciate most is how well the software takes advantage of modern technology. It makes our work easier, streamlines processes, and prevents duplication of effort wherever possible. Information and workflows are thoughtfully connected, allowing us to spend less time repeating administrative tasks and more time focusing on the families we serve.
The development and support team are exceptional. They understand the profession, listen to their users, and continue to improve the software in practical and meaningful ways. I also appreciate how much control they have placed in the hands of the end user. There are many areas we can configure or edit ourselves while we are working, rather than having to submit a request and wait for someone else to make a change. At the same time, whenever we do need assistance, the team is more than happy to help and provides outstanding support.
For me, the combination of thoughtful design, modern technology, funeral-profession-specific functionality, flexibility, and excellent support makes this an exceptional system. It feels like software designed to work the way funeral directors actually work, and that makes a meaningful difference every day.
Being a 100-year-old firm, we pioneered our share of technology in the industry. Kindred is revolutionarily changing software.
This single program replaces several pieces of software: CRM, Aftercare, Electronic Signature, Management software, and SMS software. It improves communication with families, keeps team members accountable for tasks, and allows you to set notifications, reminders, and follow-up tasks with ease. It incorporates AI in places I didn’t even realize were possible.
For owners, it puts real-time financial analytics right in front of you on a single dashboard; things we typically tracked monthly and weren’t even viewable at any given moment. And their team is always willing to listen and make adjustments to the software to make it fit your firm. From websites to online planning, API integration, decedent and David ID verification, export to third-party consultants, they have incorporated everything.
