Family records and personal details.
Not something to type into a shared chatbot.
Private LLM hosting on a dedicated machine in EU-Central, for funeral homes drafting obituary text from family notes, preparing service scheduling, or keeping a consistent set of family communication templates on a machine assigned to your funeral home alone.
Not legal or compliance advice. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure and contractual commitments. It is not an opinion on your obligations as a funeral home, and it is not a claim of any specific certification on GPUwerk's behalf. Check with your own advisor before deciding what can run where. See also private LLM hosting for nonprofit organizations and private LLM hosting for legal aid for other settings where family and personal circumstances are involved.
Where an LLM fits into a funeral home's office
This is about administrative support for the family, not any part of care itself, and it stays in the background: a director's own words and judgment carry the conversation with a family.
Obituary drafting support
Turning the biographical notes a family provides, dates, family members, occupation, memories, into a first draft an obituary writer can edit, so a director spends less time on formatting and more time with the family. Those notes contain a family's most personal details, exactly the kind of record most funeral homes would rather not send to a shared vendor's servers.
Family communication templates
Keeping a consistent, careful set of templates for service confirmations, paperwork checklists, and follow-up notes, so every family receives clear information in the same tone regardless of which staff member sends it.
Service scheduling
Coordinating viewing times, service slots, and vendor arrivals (flowers, catering, clergy) across a facility's calendar, with a model turning a phone conversation's notes into a structured schedule entry. See the private AI internal communications guide →
On certifications and compliance frameworks
GPUwerk has not published ISO 27001, SOC 2, or any other formal certification, and this page makes no claim that hosting on GPUwerk satisfies any specific data protection regulation on its own. What GPUwerk provides is a dedicated single-tenant machine, a published GDPR Article 28 DPA with no sub-processors for instance workloads, and a documented answer to who can reach the machine and what happens to data on termination. If your compliance program requires a specific framework, that gives your own advisor a concrete starting point to assess against your requirements, not a substitute for the assessment itself.
What's actually in the contract
For your office manager or IT contact to review directly.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where does it run? | EU-Central, on a dedicated single-tenant machine assigned to your funeral home |
| Who operates it? | PRINT IT! SE, a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, Czech Republic. No US parent entity. |
| Who can reach the instance? | Through the instance itself, only holders of your SSH keys; password login is disabled fleet-wide. GPUwerk keeps infrastructure administrator access to the underlying machine, as on any hosted service, and under the DPA does not use it on your content except at your request for support or where a legal obligation requires it. |
| Does GPUwerk see family data? | No. We host the hardware and, under the DPA, do not access, read, copy, index or analyse workload content. |
| Sub-processors for the workload? | None, listed at /legal/sub-processors |
| DPA (GDPR Art. 28)? | Published at /legal/dpa, no charge |
| Certifications? | None published (no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 claimed). Assess against your own compliance requirements. |
| Data on termination? | Container and workspace volume deleted from the node, then the node is sanitised before reassignment. Filesystem deletion, not a cryptographic erase; export what you need before terminating, since it isn't reversible. |
| Pricing | Spark-1x from $0.79/hour on demand, billed per minute; Spark-2x from $1.79/hour. A customer-requested stop holds the reservation at 75% of the running rate. See /pricing for full detail. |
Questions we get from funeral homes
Is it safe to put family and decedent records into an LLM?
That depends on where the model runs and who can reach it, not the model itself. On a GPUwerk dedicated instance in EU-Central, the machine is assigned to your funeral home alone and reachable only through your SSH keys; GPUwerk does not access, read, copy, index or analyse what runs on it except at your request for support or where a legal obligation requires it. Whether a specific use of family data meets your own regulatory obligations is for your own advisor to confirm.
Is GPUwerk certified for handling sensitive family records?
GPUwerk has not published ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar certifications. If your compliance program requires a certified provider or a specific control framework, a dedicated single-tenant instance with a published DPA and no sub-processors gives you a documented starting point to assess against your own requirements, not a substitute for that assessment.
Do you sign a DPA covering family and decedent data?
Yes, a standard GDPR Article 28 DPA is published at /legal/dpa at no charge, and there are no sub-processors for instance workloads.
Does GPUwerk train on our family records?
No. GPUwerk runs infrastructure, not models. There is nothing for GPUwerk to train on, since we do not access instance content except as described in the DPA.
