The vast majority of U.S. funeral homes remain independently owned, creating a fragmented acquisition market.
Median annual revenue for a single-location funeral home with 150+ cases per year.
Three-quarters of funeral home owners are over 55, many without a succession plan.
Over 19,000 funeral homes operate in the U.S., the majority serving communities under 50,000.
Built for Buyers, Not Brokers
If you've spent any time researching funeral home acquisitions, you've noticed a pattern: the information that exists is either produced by brokers who want to sell you a listing, consultants who want to sell you their services, or industry associations writing for existing operators. There is no independent resource built specifically for the buyer.
Funeral Home Buyer exists to fill that gap. Our editorial philosophy is simple: no sales, no sponsored content, no affiliate arrangements. Every piece of analysis is written to serve one interest — yours.
The standard we hold ourselves to is definitive coverage. That means verifiable data and analysis written from the buyer's perspective — not repackaged conventional wisdom.
"Every guide on this site was written for the person who's done their research — and now needs the playbook."
