Why pastor-built matters
I’ve been in the room. At 2 a.m. With a family who just lost someone.
Before I became a software engineer, I spent fifteen years as a pastor. That included hospital chaplaincy, grief support, and sitting with families through the worst moments of their lives. I understand what a family in crisis needs from the first voice they hear.
The HEAR protocol — the empathy framework built into every FuneralWiseAI call — came directly from Clinical Pastoral Education and Stephen Leader training. It is not a chatbot script. It is how a trained care professional listens.
I built this because I knew it could be done right. And because every missed call is a family that didn’t get the dignity they deserved in that moment.
