Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FuneralFinder.us ("we," "us," or "the Website") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our site. FuneralFinder.us is a free directory of US funeral homes. We are not a funeral home and do not sell funeral goods or services.

Information we collect

We collect limited information automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring source. If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so that we can respond.

How we use information

We use information to operate and improve the directory, to respond to messages you send us, to understand how the site is used, and to serve advertising that helps keep the directory free. We do not sell the personal information you submit through our contact form.

Directory listing data

Listings in our directory are compiled from publicly available business information. To assemble and maintain listings, we use a third-party data service, Outscraper, to gather publicly available details about funeral homes — such as business name, address, phone number, and listed services. This listing data concerns businesses, not site visitors, and is stored in our database (hosted on Supabase, which operates on infrastructure located in the United States). If you represent a funeral home and would like a listing corrected or removed, please use our contact page.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information such as pages visited and time on site, in aggregate. You can learn about Google's practices at Google's Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser's cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser's cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type
• Language of the website
• Web browser type
• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor's referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
