FuneralBranch vs obituary websites

Obituary websites host funeral notices, tribute pages and donations for funeral homes, and some also build funeral home websites. FuneralBranch brings your website, obituaries, estimator and Google integration together in one platform.

FAQ

Do obituary websites build funeral home websites?

Some do, as a separate website package. With FuneralBranch, your website, obituaries and estimator come in one plan, looked after by one team.

Why keep our website, obituaries and estimator in one place?

Families who read an obituary can also see your prices and use your estimator at any hour, without leaving your website. One FuneralBranch plan covers your website, obituaries and estimator, and one team looks after them.

Where do tribute pages live?

On an obituary website, notices live on its site and can be shown on yours through a widget. After the funeral, some let the family keep the notice as a long-term tribute page. FuneralBranch obituaries are pages on your own website.

Who are obituary websites a better fit for?

Obituary websites suit funeral homes that mainly want notices, tributes and donations, and some offer a free package that can suit small independents. FuneralBranch suits funeral homes that want their website, Google integration, estimator and obituaries in one place.

Do we pay more for a bigger website?

Not with FuneralBranch. Your website has unlimited pages, so you can add a page for every service and town you cover to help you rank on Google. Some website packages are priced by size, with a set number of pages.

What happens when we move to FuneralBranch?

We build your new website and train your team, and your current site stays live until you’re happy with the new one. After launch, your website keeps improving as the software does. If you’re not satisfied within six months, we’ll refund you in full.
