Families are turning to crowdfunding as a simple, cost-effective way to raise emergency funds after an unexpected death. This online fundraising strategy is becoming one of the top ways to request financial and social support following the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n<p>Crowdfunding isn\u2019t a new concept, however. For years, people have created fundraising campaigns to ask for help with medical bills, college tuition, new babies, and even personal trips. But crowdfunding for funeral costs is a little different &#8211; the need is usually immediate and the message has to reach as many people as possible within a short time frame.<\/p>\n<p>This is why online crowdfunding sites work so well when it comes to asking for help with funeral expenses. Mobile devices are virtually everywhere, so it\u2019s easy to craft a campaign online and send it out to family, friends, acquaintances, and anyone else who knew the deceased person.<\/p>\n<p>You can also post the fundraiser on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media networking sites to expand the overall reach of the campaign and bring it to the attention of the general public.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"single-content-banner__shortcode\">\r\n                            <div class=\"input-search-wrapper input-search-wrapper--bottom\">\r\n            <h2 class=\"title-search\">See funeral home prices in your area<\/h2>\r\n            <div class=\"input-search search-home\">\r\n                <input placeholder=\"Enter your City or ZIP Code\" type=\"search\" class=\"addressMain\">\r\n                <button type=\"submit\" class=\"blue-button\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/funeralocity\/dist\/images\/icons\/search-button.svg\">Search\r\n                <\/button>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <span class=\"small-text\">Use zip code for more precise search results<\/span>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">Funeral Crowdfunding Sites<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous crowdfunding sites online, with some of the bigger platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoFundMe<\/a> hosting thousands of fundraising campaigns on a daily basis. It\u2019s easy for funeral causes to get lost in the crowd, so do your research and find a crowdfunding site that fits all your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralfund.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">funeral crowdfunding sites<\/a> only focus on funeral and memorial fundraising events. They offer free campaigns, provide user-friendly toolkits to create successful fundraisers, and form partnerships with funeral homes to help families in need.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">How to Set a Fundraising Goal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/18\/understanding-funeral-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">funeral and burial costs<\/a> involved when making end-of-life arrangements for your loved one. According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the median cost of an adult funeral is $7,360, and this doesn\u2019t take into account cemetery charges and miscellaneous fees.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/average-funeral-price\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_desktop.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_tablet.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_mobile.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n<p>Set a realistic fundraising goal based on firm estimates when you initiate your crowdfunding campaign. It\u2019s difficult to change the goal once it\u2019s been placed, so make sure you request enough crowdfunding support to cover all the final expenses associated with the funeral.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">Is Crowdfunding Free?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Registering on a funeral crowdfunding site and starting a campaign is free, but you will have to pay certain fees. Most sites charge a fee on each donation to cover payment processing fees and business costs associated with running the website.<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep in mind that crowdfunding donations to individuals are not tax-deductible &#8211; under current federal rules, donations are only deductible when made to qualified charitable organizations. In addition, only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/10\/tax-deductible-funeral-expenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">certain funeral expenses are tax-deductible<\/a> so make sure you understand the rules when tax time rolls around.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">How To Create a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/22\/crowdfunding-for-funeral-costs\/crowdfunding\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2444\"><img width=\"760\" height=\"390\" data-public-id=\"Crowdfunding\/Crowdfunding.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-post-2436 wp-image-2444\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/w_760,h_390,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019761\/Crowdfunding\/Crowdfunding.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1599019761\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019761\/Crowdfunding\/Crowdfunding.jpg?_i=AA 760w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/w_300,h_154,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019761\/Crowdfunding\/Crowdfunding.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIt takes a lot of work to create a successful funeral crowdfunding event.

Use your crowdfunding space to tell a meaningful story that memorializes your loved one and helps people relate to your cause.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #13377e;\"><strong>Use images<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; a picture is worth a thousand words, so add photos of your loved one and encourage others to share their own images in an online memorial. Videos are just as good as pictures &#8211; create a short video for your campaign that serves as a visual tribute to the deceased.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">Share, share, share<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; share your crowdfunding campaign with as many people as possible. Getting multiple views can make your fundraiser \u201cgo viral,\u201d and rapidly increases the total amount of donations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to thank all your donors once the campaign ends, even if you don\u2019t reach your fundraising goal. Saying thank you makes the donors feel valued and lets them know that their support is appreciated.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377e;\">Other Ways to Pay Funeral Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As simple as crowdfunding is to launch to help cover funeral costs, sometimes loved ones feel uncomfortable asking for funds so directly.&nbsp; In these cases, try <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fundly.com\/fundraising-ideas-for-memorials-and-funerals\/\">offering something in return for donations<\/a>.&nbsp; Good examples of this include hosting a commemorative dinner, holding a balloon release, or selling homemade merchandise and crafts that honor your loved one.&nbsp; These types of events don&#8217;t cost much to put together and will result in a profit to put towards the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>Funerals can be expensive, and crowdfunding is a good fundraising option when a loved one dies and the family doesn\u2019t have adequate savings or life insurance to cover all the funeral costs. There are also other ways to pay end-of-life expenses if you make arrangements in advance &#8211; learn how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/03\/final-expense-insurance-everything-you-should-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">final expense insurance and pre-need plans<\/a> can help you save on funeral and burial costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crowdfunding has grown into a popular method of paying funeral costs.
