Who wrote this. We're HonestFarewell, so we're one of the sites on this page. We aren't affiliated with Parting.com, and Parting.com hasn't reviewed this page. Facts about Parting.com come from its own public pages, checked October 26, 2026, linked at the end.
Funeral homes can pay us for a labelled "Sponsored" listing, but no one can pay to change our price lists or the order of homes. If something here is out of date, email hello@honestfarewell.org and we'll fix it.
Both sites help you compare funeral homes before you call one. The main differences are how old the prices can be, and whether a home can pay to appear higher.

| Coverage | Lists homes by US state | 85 metro areas in 10 states, with listings beyond them |
Why the date matters
Funeral prices change. A price list from a few years ago may still be close, or it may not. Whichever site you use, look for the date, and when you call a home, ask: "Is this still your current price?"
How HonestFarewell works, for both sides. Families get checked prices, guides and a planner for free. Funeral homes can claim their listing for free, and once we've checked a claim, requests from up to 5 families a month come straight to that home.
Paid listings are labelled "Sponsored". We never charge a home for a family's request, and no payment changes a home's prices or where it ranks. Our Advertiser Disclosure (opens in a new tab) explains it in full.
