~$99+

Varies by newspaper

The largest obituary platform, partnered with 2,700+ newspapers. Primarily focused on newspaper obituary placement with online presence as a secondary feature. Limited customization, no free standalone option, and guestbooks are known for attracting scam messages targeting grieving families. Pricing varies significantly based on newspaper selection.

Massive audience Newspaper network Contains ads Guestbook scams No free plan

GatheringUs

gatheringus.com

$750 – $2,300

Per event

Premium virtual funeral event service with facilitated livestreaming and professional production. Best for families who need a polished virtual ceremony. Not a memorial website builder — it's a one-time event service with pricing starting at $750 for a basic livestream.

Professional events Facilitated service Very expensive Not a memorial site

Kudoboard

kudoboard.com

Free / $5.99 – $99

Per board

Group tribute board platform, originally designed for workplace appreciation. Memorial boards are a secondary product — a single collaborative board rather than a full memorial website. Good for group tributes but lacks obituary publishing, photo galleries, and biographical features.
