Vale is the phone app for funeral home drivers and managers who use Vale, the funeral management system for Jamaican funeral homes. It replaces the paper removal slip and the phone calls about who is driving the hearse.
You need a Vale account from your funeral home to sign in. Your administrator gives you access in Vale (Settings > Users).
FOR DRIVERS
- My pickups: every body removal assigned to you, with the place, the family's phone number and directions.
- One big button for the next step: Start trip, Collect & sign, Received at the parlour.
- Collect & sign: check the name of the deceased, record who released the body (nurse, doctor, police or family) and get their signature on the screen. The location is saved with it.
- Police cases: accident-scene and homicide pickups are flagged, with the officer, station and report number, so the government claim can be followed up.
- No signal at the hospital? The collection and signature are kept on the phone and sent as soon as you are back in range.
- My funerals: your hearse, limousine or other jobs, with times, church and cemetery directions, the vehicle and who else is on the crew. Confirm, then mark done.
- A notification as soon as a pickup or a funeral job is given to you.
FOR MANAGERS AND DISPATCH
- See every open pickup and assign the driver, second person and vehicle.
- Log a call from a hospital, a family or the police in seconds.
- Staff each funeral: hearse and driver, limousine, pallbearers, funeral director, band. Everyone assigned is notified.
- Funerals in the next three weeks, with the ones still missing a hearse flagged.
PART OF VALE
When a body is received at the parlour, Vale opens the case for the arranger, with the deceased's details, the family contact and the signed removal slip, ready to print. Cases, packages with GCT, receipts, invoices, announcements and reports stay on the Vale website.
Your funeral home's records are kept in their own database, sent over encrypted connections, and never used for advertising.
Body pickups with signatures, and funeral crews, for funeral home staff.
