BOISE, Idaho — Gather, a leader in funeral home software and funeral home website design, is now connecting funeral home owners directly with Live Oak Bank, a national lender specializing in deathcare industry financing. Live Oak Bank supports every stage of funeral home ownership – from first-time acquisitions to multi-location expansions, real estate purchases, refinancing, and partner buyouts.

Financing Built for the Realities of Funeral Home Ownership

Live Oak’s loan program supports every stage of ownership – buying a first firm, expanding to a second location, building a new crematory, refinancing existing debt, or planning a succession or partner buyout. Funeral home owners can access loans ranging from $10,000 to $15 million across SBA, Express, and Conventional products, with fixed rates, terms up to 25 years for real estate, and no prepayment penalties on loans under 15 years*. Underwriting is handled by lenders who already understand the profession, so owners spend less time explaining their business and more time growing it.

One Platform for the Business of Funeral Service

The loan program joins Gather’s growing all-in-one funeral home software built exclusively for funeral homes – including case management, free funeral home websites, KeepTrack™ decedent tracking, livestreaming, and much more. Together, they give owners a single platform for running, funding, and growing their firm.

Funeral home customers interested in learning more about financing from Live Oak Bank can email help@gather.app or reach out to their customer success manager. Our team will be happy to make an introduction to the Live Oak Bank lending team.
