Features & Capabilities

TheFuneralApp notifies you of the posting of any obituaries from your selected list of cities. You can receive alerts for obituaries in the city where you grew up, went to school, worked or currently reside -- as many cities as you wish to follow. Once you download the Funeral App, select as many cities as you want, and you choose whether or not to be notified automatically of any new obituary posted to any funeral home’s website in that community. You can also quickly and easily browse the obituaries in any U.S. city with a single click on your phone. This app links you directly to the appropriate funeral homes’ website for the full obituary and funeral details. No longer do you have to subscribe to multiple newspapers, search the web for death notices in multiple cities or search out funeral home websites to find the obits that are important to you. Many of us rely on obituaries to let us know when a distant family member or friend has passed. Obituaries are sometimes the only way we learn of fallen soldiers that are so near and dear to our hearts. The same is true for those we care about in our community. This app is free to you and to funeral homes. Contact the funeral homes in your area and encourage them to sign up. It’s easy, it’s free and it’s truly valuable to all.

User Reviews

The app is praised for being easy to search and for city-based obit alerts and updates across multiple towns. However, many reviewers report incomplete or outdated coverage, occasional name-search issues, and usability glitches after updates (such as losing saved city/state and questionable navigation). Some locations return only a few results or trigger errors. Overall, the concept is valuable and helpful for staying informed, but it needs broader, more current obituaries and a more reliable, user-friendly experience.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use search and quick viewing of obituaries.
  • City/state filtering enables alerts for obits in chosen areas.
  • Push notifications deliver new obits to your phone.
  • Helpful for staying informed about obits across multiple towns.
Cons
  • Coverage is incomplete or outdated, with obits often missing or months old.
  • Search by name is inconsistent or sometimes unavailable.
  • Usability issues after updates, including not saving city/state and confusing navigation.
  • Reliability issues like invalid city requests and sparse results for some cities.
  • In some towns only a few obits show (e.g., only one result), limiting usefulness.

This app does not bring up obituaries for all funerals or funeral homes in Amarillo or Canyon Texas. Obituaries that it pulls up are for only one funeral home and they are 6 to 12 months old. This app 4-6 months ago it was always updated and listed current obituaries.

This app sounded good in the description, but it doesn't actually allow you to search for a person's name. Without the ability to search by name, this app is nothing but a waste of time. Don't bother to install!

Very time consuming to use. It could not even find obits when I knew and input exact information.
