Create the page
Add a photo, write a few sentences about your loved one, and set a goal. We suggest $8,500 — the average funeral cost — but you set whatever reflects your need.
Share with your circle
One link does it all — text, WhatsApp, Facebook, email. Donors can give in a few taps, with or without a message, anonymously if they choose.
Receive funds in 2 days
Donations are deposited to your bank account within two business days — not held until the end. You keep every donation, whether you reach your goal or not.
A platform you can hand to a grieving family without worry.
Funeral Fundraiser is built on the same payment infrastructure used by Lyft, Shopify, and DoorDash — with extra checks designed for end-of-life situations.
Identity verified by Stripe
Every organizer completes Stripe's KYC — government ID, banking details, and identity confirmation — before any funds can be released. The same standard your bank uses.
Funds in 2 business days
Donations deposit directly to the verified bank account as they come in — never held in escrow, never waiting for a goal. Your fee covers faster payout.
Active fraud review
Our team reviews flagged campaigns alongside Stripe Radar. Anything suspicious is investigated quickly so donors can give with confidence.
“It felt like our community was right there with us.”
Notes from real families who've used Funeral Fundraiser to help cover end-of-life costs.
We set up Mom's page on a Tuesday morning and by Thursday afternoon we had enough for the casket. I cannot describe what that did for my dad.
My brother set up the page on a Sunday night. By the time I woke up Monday, neighbors I hadn't seen in fifteen years had donated. I cried before my coffee.
I was worried it would feel cold to ask people for money during a funeral. It didn't. It felt like letting people help when they wanted to.
The funds were in our account before the service, which meant we could pay the deposit without putting it on a credit card. Quietly life-changing.
