Company
Ever Loved
Helping families plan and pay for funerals.
We built Ever Loved to help families handle funerals without losing their minds. Our platform makes it easier to raise the average $9,000 funeral cost through crowdfunding, find vendors and funeral products in one place, and coordinate communication among friends and family, both online and offline. Funerals are expensive, confusing, and stressful; we remove friction and bring people together around a difficult moment.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco has a strong tech ecosystem, access to talent, and positions us well to build a marketplace connecting families and vendors efficiently. It also keeps us close to our current team and resources.
