In short: Convert funeral & deathcare PDF and Word templates into Google Forms in your Drive. Doc2Form drafts structure from files up to 5 MB so teams stop retyping arrangement and tribute planning, authorization and disclosure reads, aftercare and gentle feedback. Not a replacement for your primary system of record. First form free.
Funeral & deathcare packets should not mean rebuilding every Form
Funeral & deathcare teams usually keep the official wording in a PDF or Word file that went through review. The digital experience people want is a Google Form link. In the middle is someone retyping fields, which introduces mistakes and version drift.
Doc2Form reads a digitally authored file and maps sections into a Form you finish in Google Forms. Common starting points: arrangement and tribute planning; authorization and disclosure reads; aftercare and gentle feedback. Describe mode helps when you need a short survey without a source file.
Based on a sample of 1,775 Google Forms generated by Doc2Form users, containing 55,761 questions across 47 languages. That is an average of 31 questions per form - roughly 21 minutes saved per form versus rebuilding each question by hand in the Forms editor (assuming ~40 seconds per question).
Where responses sit, and what we do not claim
Every Form lands in Google Drive like any form you build yourself. Link responses to Sheets when you need exports. Doc2Form is not your primary system of record. Blurry scans and complex tables may need a cleanup pass. Collect only what your policy allows.

Common questions
Does this replace our primary arrangement software like SRS, Osiris, or Opus?
Usually, no. Most homes use Google Forms for the "gaps" in their primary system: preliminary intakes, RSVP management for large memorial services, or aftercare surveys.
Can families sign legal authorizations directly in the Form?
Google Forms allows for checkboxes and text entry which can act as a digital acknowledgment. Whether this meets the "wet ink" or specific e-signature requirements for cremation or transport in your jurisdiction is a question for your legal counsel.
What about pre-need versus at-need planning?
We recommend creating separate Forms for these two distinct workflows. You can upload your pre-need brochure or worksheet to generate a lead-capture Form that focuses on general preferences and contact info.
Can we accommodate different religious or cultural traditions?
Yes. One of the benefits of Google Forms is the ability to use "Go to section based on answer" logic.
