Ask us Anything
What makes Gather websites unique?
Gather websites change everything. We create a unique and superlative experience for the families by providing a custom, beautiful “Remember” page that each family will cherish for generations. Families visit a funeral home website for one reason: their loved one. A Gather website creates an unfair competitive advantage for funeral homes by creating a one-of-a-kind experience for families.
Will my site look good on mobile?
Yes! We know how important it is for your funeral home to be accessible from anywhere and on any device. Websites by Gather is a premium website solution, offering a mobile-first website.
Is having a modern, innovative, and fresh website for my funeral home really that important in 2024?
A website is a window into your business and for some consumers it is the only exposure they will have with your funeral home. It is critical to make a good impression. Gather websites will help you stand apart from the competition.
Can Gather help my funeral homes win more calls?
Families are comparison shopping to find which funeral home they will work with. By showcasing that your funeral home offers the Gather experience, they will select your funeral home over the competition. We see this again and again with our customers.
Gather websites get a lot more traffic and contributions, how does this get moderated?
Helping families is more important than moderating contributions so we do this for you! When something is posted, it is visible to the person that posted it so that they know it was saved; however, their contribution will have a "Pending Approval" tag above it. Once our team approves the content, it is then visible to everyone else. Any content can be flagged as inappropriate. Your team will also have the ability to view any unmoderated content and you can also approve or deny it on your end.
What is the process for publishing a case to my Gather website?
This couldn't be easier-- you simply click a single button and it is live. You can then click the same button to unpublish it instantly.
What are the benefits of having Case Management, LiveStream, and Websites through Gather?
This is where the real magic happens. By having everything in a single, secure platform, you and your team will save countless hours and headaches. With a fully-integrated systems, it is impossible for anything to be out of synch. You will no longer have to log into a separate system to post your obituaries.

With Gather's integrated LiveStream solution, the video is automatically attached to the correct event and when you are done streaming, you simply click a button and your video is preserved on the page forever. We believe you should love your software. With Gather, we've spent years perfecting the experience so that each and every part of the platform works seamlessly together. Give us a call or chat to see for yourself.
How long will families use the Remember page?
A Gather website creates a digital keepsake that families will want to hold onto forever. Families can come back to the page any time to view the recorded livestream, view photos, relive memories, and much more. Each time they visit, they will remember the incredible service your funeral home provided. This is the best possible marketing for your funeral home and it gets compounded with each family you help.
Setting my business apart is important to me, will my website be unique to my funeral home?
Websites by Gather is a premium website solution. Our sites are not cookie-cutter and the websites we create are custom to each customer and their funeral home.
I thought Gather only did live streaming?
No! We are a one stop shop for funeral homes. We offer innovative case management as well as fully-integrated custom websites and we are adding new functionality every few weeks. We are the easy button for funeral homes.
What if a family wants to chat with us on our website?
No problem, we've got you covered. We make it easy for families to chat with you directly via your website. Since this is the preferred communication method for many families, you will have more conversations and be able to help more families.
What if I need to make an update to my Gather website once it launches?

Our Customer Support is incredible and we typically get back to you within a few seconds. Give it a try by clicking the chat icon in the bottom right of this screen.
Why is the family's experience better on a Gather website?
We've completely reimagined the typical funeral home obituary page. There hasn't been any innovation here for decades and we want to change that. Most obituary pages feel old and stale. A Gather obituary page, we call it the Remember Page, is a completely new and immersive experience for families. We create a social experience where families can share their favorite photos, sign a digital guestbook, share condolences, answer questions about their loved one, watch and rewatch the livestream, and view videos of their loved one. And best of all, we keep your funeral home at the center of that experience. It is a beautifully designed experience that we've spent years perfecting. You have to see it to believe it.
Do families really engage with this new experience?
100%. Familiies want to remember their loved ones and we've created the perfect opportunity for them to do so. These types of conversations and memory sharing have been happening on Facebook, but we believe they should be happening on your website. A new Gather website automates the creation of a multi-generational community with your funeral home at the center.
Can I still make money on flower sales?
Of course, we share the majority of flower sales directly with you. No gimmicks, we just send you a check for your portion. With each Gather website, we create a custom flower store that is branded for your funeral home. Visitors never have to leave the page and we've added some innovations to the experience that are unique to Gather. Give us a call or chat and we'd love to show you how it all works.
How much do we have to pay for all of the photos that are uploaded?
Nothing at all. We host and store all of the photos for you. Families love seeing all of the different photos that get shared by different people. And, not to worry, our team will moderate all of the photos before they are publicly visible to make sure nothing inappropriate gets posted.
What does the process look like to get started?
As with everything we do at Gather, we make it as simple as possible for you. Your dedicated Account Manager will meet briefly with you and a designer from our team. You tell us what you like, don't like and our brilliant design team will come up with some designs for you to review, once you like the direction, we will build it for you. We also migrate all of your old obituaries, including any photos or memories shared by family members over the years. Once you approve everything, we set it live!
