How It Works

With Funeral Matters, each provider offers the ability for you to preselect and build a funeral prior to stepping inside an actual funeral home.

Our Process

Our comprehensive, step-by-step process will walk you through every choice and decision that needs to be made in order to plan a funeral.

Funeral Matters professionals (select licensed funeral directors) recognize the general sense of frustration associated with seeking out and understanding funeral options and prices. Funeral Matters lays out this information in a manner that allows you to understand the options, costs and tradeoffs available to you.

Our Funeral Matters professionals do not presume to know what may or may not be important to you, but know that the best approach is to provide you with detailed options tied to exact pricing without any hidden costs.

Funeral Matters gives you the ability:

  • to learn and understand what is available to you.
  • to build different versions of what you may desire.
  • to compare pricing options, utilizing the charges from one or several Funeral Matters providers.
  • to interact with a licensed funeral director – only after you are comfortable to discuss your selections at your chosen location.

Once you've determined what is important to you, an opportunity will be provided to review your experience with your chosen funeral director at an appropriate time following the submission of completed arrangements.
