Revenue Model (Transparency)
Departed earns revenue through premium listings ($89/month) and lead generation. When a family submits a contact form, their information may be shared with one or more funeral service providers in their area. Departed may receive compensation for these referrals. This is disclosed on every page with a lead form and in the site footer.
Departed does not accept payment to influence search rankings or recommendations. Premium listings receive priority placement but are clearly labeled.
Data Sources
Business data is sourced from OpenStreetMap (via Overpass API) and publicly available records. Listings are enriched with information from Google Places where available. Data is refreshed periodically to ensure accuracy.
Funeral homes can claim their listing to verify and update their own information at any time. Claimed listings are marked and may contain additional details provided directly by the business.
