Online obituary submission
Allow families to submit obituaries with photos, service details, and memory sharing capabilities.
Virtual service streaming
Offer live or recorded service broadcasts for family and friends who cannot attend in person.
Grief support resources
Provide helpful guides, local support groups, and counseling referrals for bereaved families.
Veterans and religious accommodations
Detail special services for military honors, religious traditions, and cultural customs you provide.
Original 2026 data
The state of funeral home websites in 2026
I sampled 1,290 funeral homes across 21 cities and audited every website I could find, 975 of them. Here is how the competition stacks up, and where it slips.
70 out of 100
Grade C That puts Funeral Homes tied 34th of 47 industries I audited.

Where funeral homes fall short online
Longer bar, more local sites getting it wrong. The most common miss: 82% of the sites I audited have no blog.
The average across all 91,904 websites I audited.
Independents against the chains
A chain location comes with a marketing department. These are the checks where the two groups split hardest. The widest gap is a homepage contact form: 20% of independents against 52% of chains.
- Independents (710 sites)
- Chains and franchises (265 sites)

What funeral homes run their websites on
WordPress is behind 19% of the sites I audited here. Some sites run more than one and some I could not identify, so these do not add up to 100%.

Your Client Portal
No guessing how your funeral home website is performing
Families reach out at hard moments, often late at night. Your client portal shows those calls and messages as they come in, with the page each family read first, so you can see what they needed to know. Visitors are charted quietly beside it. Updates you’ve asked for, like a new obituary section, show their status. Your files, billing and a call with Patrick are all in one place.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about funeral homes web design
Everything you want to know about getting a website built for your funeral home.
What should I include on my funeral home website?
Transparent pricing (at minimum, starting costs for services), service options clearly explained, pre-planning resources, and a compassionate tone throughout. Families need information during the worst time of their lives.
Should I show prices on my funeral home website?
Yes. FTC requires you to provide price information. Show starting costs for traditional services, cremation, and other options. Transparency builds trust when families are vulnerable and stressed.
Do I need online obituary submission on my website?
It makes life easier for families. Let them submit obituaries, photos, and service details online instead of through phone calls and emails. It's more efficient for you and less stressful for them.
Should I offer virtual service streaming?
In 2026, yes. Families are often spread across the country. Virtual streaming lets distant relatives and friends attend when they can't travel. It's expected now, not a nice-to-have.
How do I make my funeral home website compassionate and not sales-y?
Focus on serving families, not selling services. Use gentle, respectful language. Provide helpful resources about grief and planning. Answer questions clearly. Lead with compassion and the business will follow.
How important is mobile for funeral home websites?
Very important. Grieving families research funeral homes on phones from hospitals or while making arrangements. If your site doesn't work on mobile, you're making a hard time harder.
How do I compete with large funeral home chains?
Emphasize local family ownership and personal service. Corporate chains are impersonal. You've served the community for generations. Personal care during grief beats corporate efficiency.
Should I have pricing for pre-planning on my website?
Yes. Pre-planning shoppers want pricing to budget appropriately. Show package ranges clearly. People planning ahead are less emotional and more price-conscious than immediate-need families.
Do I need separate pages for different service types?
Yes. Traditional burial, cremation, celebration of life, veteran services, and religious ceremonies are different. Create dedicated pages for each and you'll serve families better.
How do I make my funeral home website compassionate, not sales-focused?
Focus on serving families, not selling packages. Use warm, respectful language. Provide grief resources freely. Answer questions clearly without pressure. Lead with compassion and trust follows.
