The Funeralocity Manifesto

Established in 2017, Funeralocity stands shoulder to shoulder with you. Our service is always free of charge.

We vow to be a unique source of transparency in an industry veiled with ambiguity. We showcase the prices of all cremation and funeral providers across the US. Acknowledge the reality that prices of cremations, burials, caskets, urns, and other funeral goods can greatly fluctuate even within the same locale.

The escalating price tag of funerals over the decades

It is an undeniable fact that funerals have become the fifth most costly expense for the average American, superseded only by the purchase of a home, college education, wedding, and automobile. Often, this substantial financial commitment is hastily planned and settled by grief-stricken loved ones. Funeralocity was conceived to provide a steadying hand in times of loss and to assist in preplanning, easing future burdens.Price, though significant, should not dictate your choice of funeral provider. We believe the merit of service, the state of the premises, and the ability to craft a commemorative event are crucial in ascertaining the real value of a funeral service.

In the immediate aftermath of a loss, families frequently find themselves burdened with the task of quickly organizing a funeral. We strongly recommend planning final wishes for funerals or cremations in advance in order to spare their families financial stress and the inclination to overspend while grieving.

We invite you to acquaint yourself with our Funeral Bill of Rights for Consumers – our promise of how you deserve to be treated and what you should expect. On our site, you can identify funeral homes and cremation providers bearing our Premier Provider credential – an accolade bestowed upon the top 10% of funeral services in the US. Consult with us to ensure your chosen provider adheres to our rigorous quality standards and promises to deliver superior service.

We pledge to flag any business practice or quality level that falls below our standards by placing a CONSUMER ALERT notice on providers.

Peruse our Knowledge Center, your digital library of informative guides on funeral planning, decoding funeral terminology, understanding different funeral service options, preplanning, grief resources, and more.

We also offer our free Ombudsperson service to help mediate any disputes between a consumer and a funeral home or cremation provider.

We are proud to say that Funeralocity walks a green path. As an active sponsor of Trees for the Future, we contribute towards reforestation efforts to offset carbon and support impoverished tree farmers in the third world. Rest easy in the knowledge that choosing Funeralocity is a choice for a sustainable future.

Funeralocity is your compass, guiding you towards making the most suitable choice for you and your family.
