Where Funeral Homes Overpay
Your Processor Is Charging
You More Than They Should.
Your Bank
Avg. 2.8 to 3.5% effective rate
Banks bundle payment processing with your checking and lending relationship. They charge whatever the market will bear because switching feels complicated. Most funeral home owners assume their bank is giving them a fair deal. Most are not.
On a $8,000 arrangement:
You pay $224 to $280 in fees.
You should be paying significantly less.
Square
2.6% flat. No negotiation. Ever.
Square is built for small retail. It charges a flat rate and offers zero flexibility. For a funeral home processing large, predictable transactions, that flat rate is expensive and entirely unnecessary. Square will never negotiate your rate no matter how much volume you run.
On a $8,000 arrangement:
Square charges $208 flat.
Every single time. No exceptions.
Stripe
2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
Stripe is a developer platform designed for e-commerce. It was not built for funeral homes and it does not price for them. Like Square, it offers no rate negotiation for high-ticket, low-volume businesses like funeral homes.
On a $8,000 arrangement:
Stripe charges $232.30.
On top of monthly platform fees.
Owen Molloy
Founder, Atom Payments

My family owns a cemetery. I did not stumble into the death care industry. I grew up in it. I know how funeral homes operate, how families pay, and how the billing cycle actually works from pre-need contracts to at-need collections.

When I started Atom, funeral homes were one of the first verticals I focused on because I kept seeing the same thing: owners paying bank rates or Square rates with no idea there was a better option, and no one in the payments industry who understood their business well enough to help.

I do. If you work with Atom, you get my direct line and someone who actually speaks your language.

Real Client. Death Care Industry.
$6,000+ Saved
Every Month.
A regional funeral home had been processing through their bank for years, assuming the relationship meant they were getting fair rates. After a free statement audit, they switched to Atom. Same backend network, zero disruption to staff or families. Their net effective rate dropped from 3.2% to 2.3% and they added ACH for insurance and pre-need collections, cutting their speed to payment by 4 days.

What Funeral Homes Say
We Understand Your Business.
Most ISOs Do Not.
"We had been with our bank for 11 years. We assumed loyalty meant fair rates. The audit showed us otherwise. Switching took less than a week."
Owner  ·  Independent Funeral Home
"Owen actually knew what pre-need billing looked like. He did not need a 30-minute explanation of how we get paid. That was refreshing."
Director  ·  Family-Owned Funeral Home
"We were on Square because it was easy to set up. Nobody told us we were leaving hundreds of dollars on the table every month. Now we know."

Common Questions
Funeral Home Owners Ask Us This.
Will this disrupt how our staff handles payments with families?+

No. The terminal or payment method your staff uses stays the same. What changes is the backend processor and the rate. Families will not notice any difference. Staff will not need retraining. Most clients are fully live within 3 to 5 business days.

Can you handle pre-need contracts and at-need collections differently?+

Yes. Pre-need and at-need transactions have different characteristics and most processors treat them identically. We understand the billing mix specific to funeral homes and structure accounts accordingly. We also help funeral homes add ACH for insurance assignments and pre-need installment payments, which speeds up cash flow significantly.

My bank handles our business checking too. Is switching risky?+

Payment processing and your banking relationship are completely separate. Switching processors does not affect your checking account, lending relationship, or anything else with your bank. We board merchants to the same backend networks banks use, just without the markup.

We use Square because it is simple. What changes?+

We replace Square with a terminal or integration that is just as simple to use, at a significantly lower rate. Square charges 2.6% with no flexibility. On a $8,000 arrangement that is $208 in fees on a single transaction. We can cut that materially. Setup takes a few days and your staff will find it just as easy to use.

Are there contracts or cancellation fees?+

None. No long-term contracts, no early termination fees, no rate increases after you sign up. If we stop delivering value you can leave. That accountability is what keeps our clients around.
