BOISE, Idaho — Gather, an innovative funeral home software company dedicated to helping funeral directors and families, was recently nominated as one of the finalists for NFDA’s 2022 Innovation Award.

22 companies submitted their innovations to be considered for the award, and three finalists were announced in late September:

• Gather
• The Living Urn
• Everything After

Gather created KeepTrack™ – an innovative QR body and belonging tracking system that funeral homes and cremation centers use to streamline chain of custody, prevent mix-ups, earn more trust from families, and help protect their reputations.

“Our team wanted to focus on building a chain of custody solution that truly helps funeral directors get more sleep at night,” says Zach Chatterton, CEO of Gather. “We believe that KeepTrack™ is the difference-maker that safeguards reputations and builds more trust for every funeral home out there.”

The winner of the 2022 Innovation Award will be announced live and on-stage during the NFDA Convention in Baltimore, on October 10th.
