Halcyon pricing (2026): what the record shows

The short answer

$295/month flat, plus a one-time activation fee (a customer reported paying $500, non-refundable). The only one of the five legacy funeral vendors with a current subscription number on the record.

Halcyon pricing answer

How much does Halcyon cost?

The current record shows a $295/month flat Basic Feature Bundle, plus a one-time activation fee. A customer reported paying $500 for that activation fee; it was non-refundable. Halcyon's own FAQ confirms the fee structure (activation plus monthly fee) and says larger firms may also have a small per-case fee, without publishing that amount.

Questions buyers ask

Is Halcyon pricing public?

Halcyon's own site does not print a dollar figure. The $295/month number comes from a vendor-supplied Software Advice listing, with the activation amount from a customer review and vendor response.

Does Halcyon require a long-term contract?

Halcyon's FAQ says there are no long-term contracts. Confirm the current term, renewal and any case fee in your written quote before signing.
