Launch of the real-time death reporting application replacing Decesia
There are services that, by their very nature, are indispensable. Undoubtedly, information about deaths and obituaries is a prime example: families and those close to the deceased need to access it in real time, from anywhere, quickly and without hassle. The Tàrrega Funeral Home has embraced this demand from the public, who are accustomed to having an up-to-date digital information channel for obituaries and deaths, and has invested in its own mobile app to guarantee this service. Dispromèdia was the development company.
A new app to continue offering an essential service to the public
Since the fall of 2018, the Tàrrega Funeral Home (Lleida) had offered this service through Decesia, an external platform that has recently been discontinued. With the disappearance of the old application, the Urgell company saw the need to find a solution that would allow it to continue providing digital information about deaths and obituaries, but without relying on third-party tools.
The decision was clear: to have a proprietary, custom-developed application under the funeral home's full control. A project that we at Dispromèdia have supported from the very beginning, from functional design to its launch in the Android and iOS app stores.
What does the Tanatori Tàrrega app do?
The app has been designed to be useful, approachable, and accessible, especially for people who are going through a difficult time and need clear, hassle-free information.
-
View updated obituaries and death notices
From the app, you can view the most recent obituaries and death notices from the Tàrrega Funeral Home, with full details for each listing: images and expanded information for each case.
-
Real-time push notifications
Users can activate push notifications and receive an alert on their mobile phone when a new obituary is published. A direct and immediate channel that eliminates the need to actively check the app.
-
Direct contact with the center
The app integrates all contact channels with the funeral home: office phone, 24-hour phone, email, a map with its location, and access to the service's website. All in one place, without the need to search for the information separately.
-
Accessible and easy-to-use design for all users
The app has been designed with the diverse users who will be using it in mind. The navigation is clear and intuitive, with a clean visual experience that makes it easy to navigate, even for people unfamiliar with mobile devices.
Why a dedicated app and not a generic platform?
When a benefit is as sensitive as this one, the technological solution that makes it possible must be completely aligned with the needs of the service and the people who use it. A generic tool can cover standard needs, but it rarely adapts to the identity, workflows, and specific requirements of a facility like a funeral home.
With its own app, the Tàrrega Funeral Home gains autonomy and total control over the service: who can post on it, how information is displayed, how notifications are managed, and how the tool evolves in the future. There is no dependence on third-party platforms or risk of losing service if a provider disappears or changes its terms, as has happened with Decesia.
Additionally, the app projects an image that is consistent with the center's identity, which reinforces users' trust at a time when it is crucial.
A project that reflects the way Dispromèdia works
The development of the Tàrrega Funeral Home app is a good example of how we at Dispromèdia approach the digital projects we take on: we listen to the client's real needs, propose tailor-made solutions, and provide support throughout all phases of the process, from the initial idea to the launch.
It wasn't just about creating a functional app, but about understanding the context—a public utility service with users in emotionally delicate situations—and translating it into a digital tool that was, at the same time, technically sound and humanly approachable.
With over 20 years of experience designing and developing digital solutions for businesses and organizations of all kinds, at Dispromèdia we have the technical resources and strategic insight necessary to tackle projects of any scale and in any sector: from corporate websites and online stores to mobile applications like this one.
Now available for Android and iOS
The Tanatori Tàrrega app is now available for free download on both Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS). Anyone who wants to stay informed about the center's obituaries can install and set it up in just a few minutes.
