The story
Halcyon DCMS is a vertical SaaS for funeral homes, crematories, and pet crematories, launched in 2002 and rebuilt as a web-based platform in 2009. It is owned/operated by Batesville Casket Company, LLC, a longstanding deathcare industry supplier. Embedded finance is limited to credit card processing (via First American / Deluxe) and QuickBooks accounting sync — the product is a management system, not a fintech.
