Everything you face after a death, in one calm place

Losing someone means making expensive decisions fast, while grieving. Plainfare helps you compare providers, find them near you, and work through a clear checklist, so you can move forward without the guesswork.

Or browse by service and state:

Pick a service and your state to see providers, with a source-labeled price wherever one has been published.

Compare providers side by side

Every price we publish carries the source it came from. When we do not have a price we show nothing rather than an estimate, so a blank means we have not collected it yet.

Compare providers

Find providers near you

See the providers we list on a map and by city, with the services each has published, so you can shortlist who to call in minutes.

Browse by area

Keep everything in one place

Save your checklist, track what is done, and centralize your research, so nothing slips through during a hard time.

How Plainfare works

1

We collect the prices

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, every funeral home must give price information by phone to anyone who asks. That is how we collect prices, and every price we publish carries the source it came from.

2

You compare side-by-side

See a provider's itemized prices wherever they have published them. Sort by price. Hide known chains. Make an informed choice.

3

We guide you through every step

Our post-death timeline walks you through every decision from hour one through 18 months, with the right providers at each step.

The FTC says you have a right to know funeral prices

The FTC Funeral Rule requires every funeral home to give accurate price information over the telephone to anyone who asks. The FTC's guide for funeral homes says they cannot require your name, address, or phone number before they answer. Most funeral homes still do not post their prices online. Plainfare is collecting this data so families can compare before they call.
