Dearly Departed
Austin’s new standard for funeral planning
Modern families search differently for end-of-life planning. Ensure they find your care.
Dearly Departed is a digital marketplace connecting trusted providers with families who are actively planning. Families compare providers, select services, and we introduce them directly to you as high-intent inquiries.
We are assembling the founding Austin provider network.
- • Transparent comparisons before making contact
- • Service selection aligned to their needs and timeline
- • Direct introductions to providers who meet their standards
