Methodology: numbers with receipts
The web is full of invented software prices — AI search summaries and SEO farms now fabricate figures for vendors that have never published one. During our research we documented the same fictional “$49/month” attributed to two different funeral vendors, and a comparison site listing detailed Passare tiers that exist nowhere else. Our defense is boringly strict.
The rule
A number appears on this site only if we opened a page containing it. Each figure carries its evidence class, its source (linked), and the date it was true. If we can’t verify a number, the page says unknown — and explains what we tried.
The five evidence classes
| Verified · current list price | Seen on a live page (vendor site or a directory the vendor supplies), dated. |
| Verified · historical list price | The vendor’s own page from an earlier year, retrieved from web archives (Internet Archive / Common Crawl), byte-verifiable, always dated. Old prices are still gold: they anchor negotiations and expose when hiding began. |
| Verified · actually paid | An amount a customer states they paid — reviews, public filings, documented reporting. |
| Derived estimate | Arithmetic on the vendor’s own public statements (e.g., “less than an average funeral per year” × the NFDA average). Always labeled; never dressed as a quote. |
| Unknown | Nobody has published it. We say so, and list what we checked. |
What we never do
No “prices typically range from…” filler. No aggregator guesses laundered into facts. No affiliate placement disguised as ranking. When a directory shows conflicting vendor-reported prices, we print both with dates instead of choosing.
Corrections
Vendors and customers: if a number here is wrong or stale, write to hello@funeralsoftwareprices.com with a verifiable source. We correct fast and log the change on the page.
