He also provided tips for funeral planning during these uncertain times (including social distancing, virtual services, etc) and how consumers should discuss religious, cultural and spiritual options with funeral directors in advance.\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<\/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\n\n\n<p>The Business Journal traced the origins of Funeralocity.com to a personal experience for Reggie.  He was running a clinical drug trial when one of his employees was having a terrible time planning a funeral.  He jumped in to help find a funeral home and noticed the huge price difference from one funeral home operator to another.  That&#8217;s when he figured he could create a comparison website to help others.  By May 2017, he launched the first site in Atlanta and by April 2019 had gone national.\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/cremationclub\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_desktop.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_tablet.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_mobile.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everyone will deal with planning a funeral at least once in their lifetime, and the logistics can be beyond challenging.&#8221; Reggie said.  &#8220;Funeralocity.com was created to make that process easier, convenient and transparent.  there is nothing like this online.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3131","press","type-press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"section_type":"in_the_news","news_content_type":"inner_post","news_image":"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019210\/phoenix\/phoenix.jpg?_i=AA","outer_link":"","is_local_video":false,"inner_video":false,"video_image":false,"full_width_image":false,"show_on_page":[],"popularity":"0"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v17.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Funeralocity Provides Way to Shop for Funeral Services during COVID-19 - Knowledge Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/media-center\/funeralocity-provides-way-to-shop-for-funeral-services-during-covid-19\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Funeralocity Provides Way to Shop for Funeral Services during COVID-19\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PHOENIX, June 16, 2020 &#8211; &#8220;It pays to shop before you drop,\u201d says the Phoenix Business Journal, which highlighted Funeralocity.com\u00a0and founder Ed Michael Reggie in a feature this past June.
