Filing should be right the first time.
Valedis exists for a simple reason: when a death certificate is filed cleanly the first time, a grieving family gets closure sooner — and a director gets their time back.
Why we started
Funeral directors carry more than anyone sees: chasing certifier signatures, catching errors before a filing is rejected, shepherding paperwork so a grieving family doesn’t have to — and most of it still done by hand.
We know that weight from the other side. When close family passed, my grandmother among them, we watched our own families meet a wall of strange, clinical questions in the middle of their grief. It shouldn’t be that hard — not for the families, and not for the directors holding it all together.
Valedis exists to lift that load — for directors and for the admin staff quietly carrying it alongside them. Automate the follow-ups, flag the mistakes before they cost weeks, file clean the first time. Less time on forms and phone calls, more time for the work the whole team does best — supporting families. That’s all we want to do too.
Our mission
Rejected certificates and unsigned forms turn the hardest week of a family’s life into a longer wait. We’re building the workflow layer that catches errors early, follows up on signatures gently, and watches the deadlines — so filing goes through clean and families aren’t left waiting. Valedis works alongside your state’s system; it doesn’t replace it.
Who it’s for
Independent funeral homes and the people who run them — directors and the admin staff who support them. In most small homes, it’s the administrative coordinator or office manager who handles the day-to-day paperwork: entering the family’s details, tracking certifier deadlines, following up on signatures, and preparing the case for filing. Valedis is built for that role as much as it’s built for the director — taking the administrative weight off the whole team, not just the one at the top.
We’d love to show you.
