Continental Computers, Inc. is a U.S.-based software vendor for the funeral industry, best known for The Director’s Assistant® Web (TDAW®). According to its website, the company has served funeral home management use cases since 1985 and has expanded into products for cemeteries, crematories, pet cremation, accounting, online arrangements, and customer satisfaction surveys.
TDAW is positioned as full-process funeral home management software, with an emphasis on “enter once”: case data can automatically flow into contracts, accounting, obituaries, death certificate filing, and memorial products. Features include scheduling, document processing, e-signatures, the FamilyLink family portal, online payments/file uploads/private messaging, the ArrangeOnline online arrangement catalog, and Cai AI for obituary writing. For chain of custody, TDAtrak uses QR-code wristbands to record time, location, handlers, and digital signatures. On the finance side, it includes The Smart Accountant and can export or sync with QuickBooks, Peachtree, and Federated. It also offers grave space management, inventory, cremation equipment maintenance, customer billing, form generation, and pet cremation management.
The website does not disclose plans, pricing, contract terms, payment methods, or a free trial; it only offers sales contact and demo scheduling. In terms of deployment, TDAW is explicitly Web accessible, supporting multi-user access from any device and location. No self-hosting information was found. For support, the vendor emphasizes unlimited U.S.-based human support and says its customer service, technical support, and management teams operate centrally.
Its strengths are deep vertical specialization and coverage of multiple critical workflows for funeral organizations, from front-office services to back-office finance and compliance tracking. The relatively broad set of built-in modules reduces the need to stitch together third-party tools. U.S. state-level EDRS support, e-signatures, and chain-of-custody tracking are particularly valuable for North American customers. The downsides are completely opaque pricing; security and compliance are only described in terms of encryption, controlled access, and secure document storage, with no SOC 2 or similar certifications disclosed. No API, developer documentation, or open platform capabilities were found either.
It is better suited to funeral homes, crematories, cemeteries, and pet cremation providers in the U.S. and North America, especially organizations that need integrated accounting, death certificates, chain of custody, and online arrangements. Chinese users should carefully evaluate network accessibility, English-language UI, overseas payments, local funeral regulations, electronic certificate systems, and cross-border data requirements. The crawled text does not provide information about China access or localization, so it is advisable to also compare international alternatives such as Passare and FrontRunner, as well as domestic funeral business systems in China.
