Families in your community are researching cremation right now. They want honest pricing, a clear list of what’s included, and a provider they can trust. CremationMatch gives them exactly that — and puts your funeral home in front of them before anyone else does.
Apply for Your City’s Spot ↓When a family searches for cremation in your city, here is what they find: Neptune Society. SCI. Online cremation companies with call centers in another state. National brands with polished websites, strong SEO, and deep advertising budgets.
They are not finding you — not because you’re not better, but because they got there first with information. Families don’t choose the best provider. They choose the first provider they trust enough to call.
Nearly 70% of families now research funeral options online before making any contact. If you’re not visible in that research phase, you’re not in the conversation.
SCI companies and national brands invest heavily in SEO and paid search. They show up first. Families assume they’re seeing the best local options — not just the best-funded advertisers.
It’s not just one contract. Every family that chooses a national chain or an online provider tells their friends, neighbors, and coworkers where they went. Those referrals are now your competitor’s — and they didn’t have to earn them.
Families on CremationMatch are looking for exactly what you already offer: straightforward cremation from a real local provider with an honest, all-in price. Here’s what your listing shows them.
Only one funeral home per city is listed on CremationMatch. Once you claim your city, your local competitors cannot list. Your spot is protected as long as your listing is active and meets our standards.
Your listing displays a prominent Verified Independent Provider badge — a signal to families that you’ve been reviewed, that you’re independently owned, and that your pricing meets our transparency requirements.
Your listing shows families your name, city, years in service, your all-inclusive direct cremation price, a description of your business, phone number, and website. Importantly, every listing also displays exactly what that price covers — pickup, cold storage, container, cremation, Social Security notification, and one certified death certificate. No fine print. Families know what they’re getting before they ever call you.
No referral fees. No per-lead charges. No commission on services provided. Families contact you directly by phone or through our contact form. The relationship is entirely between you and the family. We never insert ourselves into the conversation.
Your listing is built to rank for “[city] cremation” and related searches. We structure every page with local SEO best practices so that when families search for cremation in your city, CremationMatch — and your listing — has a strong chance of appearing.
Your listing renews annually at $999/year. There is no multi-year commitment, no cancellation penalty, and no lock-in. If you’re not satisfied after your first year, simply don’t renew. Your city spot becomes available again.
CremationMatch is not for everyone, and that’s the point. Our standards are what make a listing here meaningful to families. If you meet these requirements, you belong in this directory. If you don’t, we’d rather both parties know upfront.
Your funeral home must be independently or family-owned. Not a franchise. Not a subsidiary. A real owner-operated business with roots in your community.
You must offer complete direct cremation services at a total price of $1,500 or less. This is our price cap, and it applies to all listed providers without exception.
You must have a licensed, operational funeral home in the city you’re applying to list for. We do not list providers who serve a market remotely without a local presence.
Your pricing must be publicly accessible — on your website or provided on request without requiring a sales appointment first. Transparency is the foundation of this directory.
SCI / Service Corporation International, Dignity Memorial, Carriage Services, Foundation Partners Group, NorthStar Memorial Group, and any other corporate funeral chain are not eligible, period.
The average preplanning cremation contract ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 or more. One additional family who found you through CremationMatch — a family who would otherwise have called a national chain or an online provider — pays for your annual listing two to eight times over. That’s before you count the referrals.
Here’s what most funeral home owners underestimate: every family that chooses someone else doesn’t just cost you that one contract. That family tells their friends, siblings, and coworkers where they went. Those conversations become your competitor’s referrals — for free. The family you serve well does the same for you. That cycle starts with being found first.
At $999/year, a CremationMatch listing is one of the lowest-cost, highest-leverage ways to make sure independent families in your city find you instead of a national brand — before they even pick up the phone.
