Obituary Migration
Decades of your community's history, living at someone else's address.
A family searches a grandmother's name. They find her — on another company's domain, inside another company's design, surrounded by another company's links. The obituary your home wrote, for a family your home served, is now traffic on someone else's platform.
Many homes ended up here without ever choosing it. A third-party obituary platform was convenient, or came bundled, or was simply what everyone used. Years passed. Now the record of every family you've served points somewhere that isn't you.
What this service is
We move your obituaries — all of them, as far back as the records go — onto pages you own, on your domain, in your design. Formatted properly, not dumped. Findable by search, so that a family searching a grandmother's name finds her on your site.
Why it matters to your business
Those pages are the deepest archive of your relationship with your town. Every one is a family that chose you, and a page that can quietly introduce you to the next family. On a platform, that value accrues to the platform.
When to start here
Usually alongside a rebuild or under Ongoing Care — the new site is the home those pages move into. But if the archive is what's been bothering you, it's a fine first conversation.
What you'd get
Your full obituary history, migrated, checked, and live at your own address. Old links redirected where the platform allows it. And ownership — the kind nobody can revoke, rebrand, or sell advertising against.
What good looks like: the community's history and the home that kept it, finally at the same address.
