What a funeral home website needs to do
A funeral home website has two audiences. Families who need help right now want a direct way to reach you and clear information about arrangements. Families planning ahead want to read without pressure. Give each their own page, and keep the wording gentle and unhurried.
People often open the site to find one thing: the time and place of a service. Putting current services and the obituary list near the top, with directions beside each, saves families and friends from calling the office to ask.
People searching for a funeral home usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.

Timing matters. Families need you year round, so the site should always be current rather than tied to a season.
The pages a funeral home website needs
A funeral home site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with contact and current services
- ✓Services and arrangements — what to expect
- ✓Obituaries — notices and tribute links
- ✓Planning ahead
- ✓About and directions — staff, facility and map
- ✓Contact
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
