Funeral home website design for funeral directors
Start from the page a visitor lands on after tapping a Maps listing for a funeral home. The top screen carries one task: show where the office stands and how to reach it, with no menu to dig through. In this work, funeral home website design covers a site made for that task, with a service page per offering, a location page per office, and one contact route that repeats on each of them.
Our team lays out the pages and drafts the text from the facts handed over by the owner. The owner reads each page ahead of publishing, and nothing about the funeral home goes live before that reading.
The first screen
One next step on every funeral home page
A funeral home site can grow by addition: a banner here, a form there, a row of buttons that each lead somewhere else. The layout we describe runs the other way. Each page gets a single route to the front office, either a form or a phone line, as the owner prefers, and nothing beside it competes for that spot on the screen.
Picture an arch window with plain light behind it: the page frames one thing and leaves the rest of the wall bare. Headings are short, the paragraphs are short, and the owner's own wording stays intact. Type, spacing and flat shapes carry the layout. We do not place stock photography on a funeral home page, and no page shows a person.
Six parts of a funeral home site we lay out
- Service
A service page for each funeral home service
Each item on the service list becomes a page, whether funeral services, cremation services or a memorial service. The facts are the owner's own, and the page stays inside them.
- Location
A location page for each funeral home address
A location page is written for each real address, repeating the Maps listing's name, street and phone line exactly.
- Planning
A pre-planning page at the arrangement office
A single page for people who are comparing options ahead of time, built on the owner's description of how that conversation begins.
- Contact
One contact route through the front office
A form, or a tap-to-call line on phones when a number is provided. The route repeats along the bottom of every page.
- Phone screen
Page text sized for the screen of a phone
Line length, type size, spacing and tap targets are set for a small screen first, then widened for a desktop.
- Images
Image rules for a funeral home page
If the owner hands over a photograph of the building, it is placed with a text label. Nothing is pulled from a stock library, and a person never appears in a picture.
Each funeral home page, its layout and its text
| Page of the funeral home site | Layout of that page | Text from the funeral director |
|---|---|---|
| Home page of the funeral home | Location and contact route on the first screen, links to each service page below | A short opening description and the list of services |
| Service page for funeral services | One heading, short paragraphs, the same contact route at the foot | The facts the owner chooses to publish about that service |
| Location page for a single funeral home address | Address, phone line and map link first, then the services offered there | The street, the phone line and the services named at that office |
| Pre-planning page for the arrangement office | A short introduction and the contact route | A description of how the owner starts a planning conversation |
| Contact page at the front office | The form alone, with labels that say what each box holds | The line the owner wants shown, and a note on what to leave out |
How a funeral home site is built and approved
Map every funeral home page on one sheet
We list each service and each address the owner names and decide which page each one gets. Anything the owner does not list is not added.
Lay out one service page and one location page
These two pages set the pattern for the rest. The owner sees the pair before more are made.
Hold the draft for the funeral director to read
Draft text is parked while the owner reads, corrects and approves each page.
Publish, then enter each edit in the register
When a page goes up, and whenever it is changed afterwards, a line goes into the log with the page, the change and the date.
Three ideas about a funeral director's website
Heard around the front officeA funeral home site needs photographs to look finished.
What the register page showsPlain type and spacing can carry every page. A photograph of the building can be added if the owner has one, and no page depends on it.
Heard around the front officeMore pages will bury the contact route.
What the register page showsThe route is repeated on every page, so adding a service page or a location page does not move it.
Heard around the front officeA funeral home site is complete at launch.
What the register page showsServices and addresses change. Edits run through a log, and the owner clears each change first.
What a funeral home page must pass before launch
- One contact route appears on every page of the funeral home site
- Text can be read at the size a phone screen gives it
- Each service sits on its own service page
- Each address sits on its own location page
- Every box on the contact form is labelled for what it holds
- Page titles are written by hand, one at a time, and read by the owner
Plans and the site
Where the funeral home website sits in the plans
Silver is $1,495 each month and has no website; it sits beside whatever site the funeral home already runs. The $2,495 Gold plan and the $3,495 Platinum plan each include a website that our team maintains. Gold carries 50 landing pages monthly and Platinum 100. The pricing page sets Silver, Gold and Platinum out in full.
A site is the ground that search work stands on. The plan for SEO for funeral homes needs service pages and location pages to exist, the Maps work needs a location page behind each listing, and the text itself comes from content marketing. Contact messages are counted as described under lead generation. Website design and search engine optimization for funeral directors are planned in one sitting, since each depends on the other.
Questions a funeral home owner asks about website design
Does funeral home website design have to start from nothing?
No. A funeral home that has a site can start on Silver, which sits beside it. A new website arrives with the Gold plan or the Platinum plan, never with Silver.
Whose wording goes onto a funeral home website?
The draft is ours, taken from the facts the owner provides; no page leaves the draft folder before the owner clears it. Statements about the funeral home are the owner's to make.
What does a funeral director receive in the managed site that comes with the upper plans?
Our team writes the site, hosts it and handles each edit. Gold is $2,495 monthly and Platinum $3,495, each as one fee. To ask about a first page, get in touch.
Plan the pages for your funeral home site
Which service should be entered first?
Name the services that matter most, the towns each location serves, and any local sites that point to yours. Please keep family names, service details and obituary text out of the message.
One call to plan the first pages
During one call we settle which service page is written first, which locations come next, and which plan carries the work.
Month to month. No startup fee. No contract.
