Ask HN: Has someone disrupted the burial business?
3 points by tomcam on April 13, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
It's time for me to buy a burial plot or 7 (me, the spouse, other family members). Here's what I wanted to do: go online and get the price of plots near me. Here's what I had to do instead: Fill out forms and sit through a screening phone call for the pleasure of making an appointment with a sales person and getting a link to a video on "the benefits of preplanning".

Please tell me YC has funded someone to make this process more automated and less icky. They'll get my business, that's for sure.

It's an online tool for funeral planning. They have a marketplace for caskets, urns, headstones, etc.

I first heard about Ever Loved from this Hacker News discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22314381


Thanks for the referral! Sadly it turns out they're only for online memorials. There's no "find a plot" feature, which I'm trying to find.
