About Funeralwise
Written by the company
Our lives are full of celebrations, both big and small. None is more difficult to arrange than the final celebration of life.

At Funeralwise, we know that planning for what comes next can make it easier for you and your loved ones.
An end-of-live celebration is more than just a funeral or memorial service; it’s also an important ritual for those who are left behind. It’s our mission to help you navigate the funeral experience. Whether you are planning for yourself, making arrangements for a loved one, or supporting someone who has experienced a loss—we are here to help.
At Funeralwise, we specialize in helping you prepare, celebrate, and remember. Use our planning tools, get etiquette tips, or shop our store. We're sure to have the funeral-related resources you need to help make the journey easier.

Buyer Beware
They are advertising merchandise from a third party which they only offer you two products. Then once the third party reaches out the paying consumer then is able to see a variety of other items after purchase. Funeralwise and the third party didn't take my concerns seriously. They offered me my money back. Everything had an answer. Their customer service is a NO for me and this is already a stressful time.The passing of a loved one!! Although it's a year later it still hits hard. And the poor service I received, I guess once the right person complains things will change!!

We are so sorry that you were unhappy with your purchase. You are correct that we do not carry all the products that an individual supplier may provide. Our product line is carefully curated and we select the items that we think are most suitable to our particular customers.
Because some of the products we carry are made to order by third party artists, we do, as a matter of policy, offer a refund if there is a problem somewhere down the line. For the most part, this system has worked well, but we understand that in your particular case, this was not what you wanted. We hope that, in the end, the item you received helped you to create the type of memorial for your loved one that you had in mind.
Once again, we apologize if this transaction made the process of losing a loved one more difficult. We have passed along your comments to our supplier and apologize for any actions that may have contributed to your dissatisfaction.

Fast shipping, excellent quality!
Fast shipping (even with personalized engraving) and the urn is BEAUTIFUL. High quality and far surpassed my expectations. Also, it was packaged very securely, which I greatly appreciated since it has one side that is stained glass.

Wide Variety of Cremation Urns to Select From
Ordered two urns, they arrived in a timely manner and were packaged very carefully. This was our last task in completing our preplanned burial arrangements. The funeral home we worked with was going to sell us urns for over $500 as a part of the package. They did not even offer a biodegradable product. With research, we learned that by law, no funeral home can require that you buy containers from them. We found what we wanted at Funeralwise for $225.

Funeralwise is a truly unique group!
Geoffrey Sadler
This really is a unique firm. With a rare interest in the genuine well-being of bereaved families everywhere. This organization enjoys, and succeeds at, helping families that are suffering; often teetering on the edge.
That's not easy to find. And that's why I recommend Funeralwise.com to every family suffering from the recent loss of a family member.
As you already know, It's almost impossible to find this level of caring and empathy from an organization in this field. Especially from a chief executive setting the overall tone, such as Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Richard Paskin at Funeralwise.
