Your Project

Implementation of the WordPress Web Design

Anyone looking for a funeral director is usually in an extraordinary situation and has to decide in a matter of moments whom to trust. If the funeral director comes across as old-fashioned or impersonal, trust is lost—especially at a time when a personal connection is most important.

As a web designer and WordPress freelancer, I develop websites for funeral directors and funeral homes—built using Elementor Pro. My focus is on a calm, dignified design, clearly explained services, and an easy way to get in touch.

A good website provides support for bereaved family members: with real people, clearly explained funeral options and pre-need planning, and a clearly visible 24-hour contact option. This helps people find their way and reach you exactly when they need help.

Add to that the technical fundamentals: fast loading times, a secure, GDPR-compliant platform with required information, and targeted local search engine optimization for “funeral home + your city.” This ensures your business is found exactly where bereaved families are searching.

Scope of Services

Everything Your Website Needs

The Path

4 Steps to Creating Your Funeral Home Website

1. Analysis of values, target audience, and positioning. To start, we’ll clarify your company’s mission, the services you offer (funeral arrangements, pre-need planning, types of funerals), and what makes your business unique.

2. Concept & Design. You will receive one to three sample pages of your future website—with an emphasis on a calm, dignified design, clear navigation, and a clearly visible 24-hour contact option. The remaining pages will be created only after you give your approval.

3. Implementation using WordPress & Elementor Pro. I’ll build the homepage, service and funeral type pages, the “About Us” and “Team” sections, the pre-planning section, reviews, and contact and callback options—all responsive and with training so you can maintain the site yourself.

4. SEO, Security & Launch. Before the go-live: backup system, hacking protection, page speed optimization, and a legally compliant foundation with required information. I’ll tailor the local SEO specifically to your region and your areas of focus, and old URLs will be redirected.

The Investment

How much does a website for a funeral home cost?

Transparency from the start: You can choose between a clearly calculated fixed price and flexible billing based on actual work performed. The package includes concept, design, and implementation using WordPress & Elementor Pro—with no hidden costs and no off-the-shelf website builder. Upon request, I can collaborate with an SEO specialist and an SEO copywriter.

The cost depends primarily on the scope of the project—whether a focused website featuring services and 24-hour contact is sufficient, or whether a more comprehensive site with a pre-planning section, a guide for bereaved families, and extensive SEO is desired. As a general guide:

Service Price (net)
Website with Services & 24-Hour Contact Starting at 3.900 €
Comprehensive website with maintenance and in-depth SEO starting at 4.995 €
Billing by the hour 100 €/hour
