Free funeral home websites, city by city

Local notes on how funerals are arranged, what the FTC Funeral Rule requires, and how a small funeral home gets a website and a live obituary wall without a monthly fee.

Most independent funeral homes we hear from do not need more software. They need one page that answers the three questions every family asks in the first ten minutes: where is the viewing, what time, and how do I get there. That page also has to load on a phone with one bar of signal in a parking lot, because that is where it will be opened.

Each city guide below covers the same ground with local detail: how the viewing is usually organised there, which paperwork the family faces in the first forty eight hours, how people pay, and what a funeral home website has to show so that an eighty year old relative can find the door. The federal Funeral Rule, 16 C.F.R. Part 453, applies everywhere in the United States and its territories, so that section reads the same in every page.

We are a software company. We do not own or operate a funeral home, we do not provide funeral services, and no funeral home is implied as a customer or partner on these pages. What we build is the website and the obituary wall behind it.
