Tukios is excited to announce upcoming updates that make it easier than ever to notify families when an obituary has been published. With new built-in email and text message options, funeral homes will soon be able to communicate with next of kin more efficiently, no extra steps or external tools required.


Easier Communication for Funeral Homes

Currently, sharing updates often requires manual emails or separate platforms. With this new functionality, Tukios takes care of everything behind the scenes. Funeral homes will soon be able to email or text all next-of-kin users added within the platform directly, simplifying how families are notified.

These enhancements remove the need for an external email client, streamlining the entire process. Important messages, such as when an obituary goes live, will reach families faster and more reliably, helping directors focus more on service and less on logistics.


More Options, Better Experience for Families

The new SMS capability adds another layer of flexibility, giving funeral homes the ability to communicate in ways that best fit each family’s preferences. Whether through email or text, updates will arrive in a professional, compassionate format that keeps families informed and connected.

By managing notifications internally, the platform ensures faster delivery, fewer complications, and a smoother user experience. It also maintains the warmth and professionalism that families have come to expect from funeral homes using Tukios.image (3)-3
