The story

Kindred is a bootstrapped, family-owned funeral home management SaaS built by LarkTek, LLC — the software arm of the Larkin family, which has operated Larkin Mortuary for 141 years. The product bundles case management, contracts, accounting, and AI-powered document/media generation into a web-based platform. Explicitly no venture capital; the strategy is to be an independent alternative to legacy funeral software, marketed via a Preferred Partner relationship with Selected Independent Funeral Homes.
