FAQs

We get our indicative price lists from:

• calling, emailing and meeting with funeral homes directly as a mystery shopper
• customers who share their quotes with us
• general price lists provided by funeral homes

Please note that the prices displayed should be regarded as indicative prices and estimates only. Prices can vary due to exact preferences, the availability of discounts and packaged price options, as well as changes over time.

For an exact price quote, we recommend that you contact the funeral home using the enquiry form in their listing or alternatively, you can request customised quotes from funeral homes by completing our Request Quotes Form.

The way customers find services is moving increasingly online. In a survey of families searching for funeral homes, we found that 72% of customers began their search for a funeral home online. However, properly managing a digital presence for any business is a full time job – search engine optimisation, paid advertising and content marketing are expensive and technical, and if not done correctly, can mean that your funeral home is being missed by potential customers. How many cases have you lost because local families couldn’t find you online, or because your digital presence wasn’t as polished as some of the bigger corporations?

We are the top-ranking website in Google for funerals and related subjects. Being listed on Gathered Here means that you’ll always be found by local customers searching for funeral services.

By being listed on Gathered Here you can take advantage our partnerships and be seen by more customers with immediate needs.

Providing the best service and guiding grieving families through difficult periods is the most important role for any funeral home, but price often tends to form a significant part of the conversation early on. Upfront transparency of your services and pricing creates trust, reduces time spent answering questions, and results in more meaningful conversations with customers.
