We Don't Compete.
We Dominate.
Built from the ground up for funeral service. Not assembled from templates. Not borrowed from third parties. funeralOne outperforms every competitor — and major tech platforms with billion-dollar budgets — across every metric that determines whether grieving families stay, engage, and convert.
1.75 Hours a Year.
Competitors Fail Far More Often.
Annual downtime is the silent killer of family trust. When a family hits a 503 error during a service, that moment is irretrievable. Our infrastructure makes this nearly impossible.

4.5× Faster Than
Industry Average.
As page load time climbs from 3 to 10 seconds, bounce rates surge +32% to +123%. Every competitor operates in the "Severe Impact" zone. We hold the line at Low Impact — keeping grieving families on-site, engaged, and converting.

How Every Number
Was Calculated.
Reliability Data
Annual downtime and continuous operation period data comes from 3-year availability monitoring across all providers (01/01/2022 - 01/01/2025). Uptime % = (8,760 hrs - downtime hrs) / 8,760 x 100. Continuous operation = average interval between recorded outage events.
Speed Data
Desktop and mobile load times sourced from GTMetrix performance testing across all providers, 2025. Industry averages calculated from the same dataset. PageSpeed scores from Google PageSpeed Insights. Competitor reference scores (Airbnb, PayPal) from the same tool in the same period.
Bounce Rate Model
Bounce rate correlation tiers: 1-3s = +32% (Low), 1-5s = +90%, 1-6s = +106%, 1-10s = +123% (Severe). Each provider mapped to the appropriate tier based on measured load times. Source: Industry load time / bounce rate correlation study, 2022-2025.
