How we work

From “where do we even start?” to knowing it is taken care of, in four steps.

If you have just lost someone, you should not also have to guess. Here you can see nearby funeral homes we have verified, what each one charges, and ask them questions before anyone has your phone number. When you are ready, you can arrange everything online, and the funeral home you choose will care for your loved one from there.

  • Nothing to pay for looking and comparing
  • Know the cost before you speak to anyone
  • Your details stay private until you book
  • Our fee shown plainly before you confirm

The four steps

Four steps, at your own pace.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    See funeral homes near you that we have verified

    Type in your city or ZIP code. Every funeral home you will see has had its license confirmed with the state licensing board, and we check again every week, so you can trust what is in front of you.

    Step 2

    Compare what they offer and what it costs, in your own time

    See each funeral home’s services, packages and itemized price list side by side. Where a price is confirmed by the funeral home we say so; where it is a regional estimate we say that too. There is no timer, and no one is waiting on you.

    The funeral home cares for your loved one from here

    They receive your arrangement and your contact details, and reach out to settle dates, documents and every detail with you. Funeral homes commit to reply within one business day, and our team is a phone call away at any hour if you need us.

What you can arrange

Whatever feels right for your family.

Burial

Traditional or simple burial with licensed funeral homes, with caskets, vaults and each service shown and priced on its own, so you choose only what you want.

Cremation

Direct cremation, or cremation with a gathering to remember them, with urns and services listed and priced by each funeral home.

Planning ahead

Record your wishes and share them with the people you love, so that one day they will not have to guess. Nothing to pre-pay.

Planning assistant

Explains the kinds of services, what they usually cost and what comes next, at any hour of the night. Free, and never a substitute for the funeral home’s guidance.

Obituary builder

Helps you find the words when that feels hard. It drafts from what you share, and the result is yours to keep and change.

Private messaging

Ask a funeral home anything, here. Your phone number and email stay with you until you decide to book.

Reviews from families like yours

Only families who arranged services through Eternal Dream can leave a review, so every one is real.

Who does what

So you always know who to turn to.

The funeral home you choose cares for your loved one and is responsible for the service. Our part is to make sure you could see everything clearly before choosing, that your details stay private, and that paying is safe.
