Venture Description
Funerals is a web-based company, “disruptive” technology, and online community that provides funeral planning and educational tools to consumers researching funeral establishments and related services and products. It is modeled after other well-known websites like WeddingWire, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and AngiesList where the basis of the website is a comprehensive database of entities that can be searched and sorted based on personal preferences and selection is often based on user reviews and ratings. As much as it is a business, it is also a consumer advocacy tool aimed at breaking down the knowledge barriers between the industry and consumers, empowering consumers to make decisions based on their own timeline and knowledge.
