A funeral home website that helps families at the hardest moment

A funeral home website needs to put your 24-hour phone number, current obituaries and service times, and clear explanations of your options and prices where grieving families can find them fast. On we.inc you can publish a free template, or describe your funeral home to the AI (from $20/month) and it builds these pages in a calm, respectful design.

Example website for funeral home websites built with We.Inc: the Harlan Brothers Funeral Home home page — Harlan Brothers Funeral Home: an example site for funeral home websites, made with We.Inc.

Describe your funeral home and the AI builds a funeral home website with obituaries, service details, and a calm way to reach you any time. Edit by chat, visually, or in code.

Pages every funeral home website needs

Home: A 24-hour number, recent obituaries and a short, compassionate note on how you help.
Obituaries: The most visited pages on most funeral home sites, shared widely by family and friends.
Services: Explains traditional funerals, cremation, memorials and graveside services in plain language.
Pricing: Families compare costs, and many are relieved to see a price list without having to ask.
Pre-Planning: Lets people arrange their own wishes in advance and request a planning conversation.
About / Facilities: Your history, staff and chapel photos reassure families before they visit.

A website for a family-owned funeral home in Richmond, Virginia called Whitlock Family Funeral Home, with a 24-hour phone number on every page, an obituaries section with service times, pages for burial, cremation and memorial services, a price list page, and a pre-planning request form.

What families look for when they search for a funeral home

Families usually search under time pressure and often on behalf of others. They want a phone number that answers at any hour, clear prices and signs that you will handle things with care.

Publish your general price list online

US funeral homes must give a general price list to anyone who asks in person, and families now expect to see one online before they call. Linking it from the home page builds trust and answers the most common question.

Put the 24-hour number above everything else

A death at home or in a hospital starts with a call at any hour. The first screen on a phone should show who answers, the number and what happens next.

Keep obituaries on your own site

Obituary pages bring searches for the person's name and are shared widely by family. Hosting them on your domain, with service times and a map, means those visits reach you rather than a third-party listing.

Funeral home website providers vs building your own

Families visit a funeral home site at the hardest moment, mostly to read an obituary, find service times or arrange care, so clarity and calm matter more than design. Most funeral homes use a specialist provider because obituaries and tribute walls are built in, but smaller homes sometimes choose a simpler site.

Option	Good for	Watch out for
Funeral website providers such as FrontRunner, funeralOne or Tribute Technologies	Obituary management, tribute walls, livestream links and flower sales built for the profession.	Contracts, and designs that families may have seen on other homes' sites.
Wix or Squarespace	Lower cost and full control over the look.	There is no obituary system, so posting and updating them is manual.
Legacy.com and local newspaper listings	Wide reach for obituaries and guest books.	The listing belongs to the publisher and carries their ads.
we.inc	Describe your services, facilities and pre-planning options to get those pages plus an arrangements contact form you can edit by chat.	It has no obituary manager or tribute wall; homes that post many obituaries are better served by a specialist provider.

Whatever you choose, a plain page on what to do when a death occurs and a 24-hour phone number help families most.

What makes a funeral home website work

Tone matters more than flair

Soft colors, generous spacing and plain words work best. Families are often reading on a phone in a difficult moment, so every page should make the next step obvious.

Post obituaries quickly

Obituaries need to go up the same day. With we.inc you can tell the AI in chat to add a new obituary with the photo and service details instead of waiting on a web designer.

Price transparency

The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral homes to give itemized price information, and some states have added online disclosure rules. Check current federal and state requirements and publish your price list accordingly.

Guestbooks, livestreams and payments are add-ons

We.inc does not include a moderated online guestbook, livestream hosting, flower ordering or payment processing. Embed a livestream from YouTube or Vimeo and link to dedicated tools for tributes, flowers or payments.

What it costs

A custom domain is about $10 to $20 a year. Starter at $20/month covers AI building and routine obituary posts for many funeral homes; busy homes posting several obituaries a week may want Pro for the extra credits.
