How it works
Four gentle steps, entirely at your pace
Here is exactly what happens after you reach out — no surprises, no pressure, and no one committing you to anything without your say-so.
Guided, at your pace
Reach out
We listen
Compare options
Decide together
Laid to rest
01Step one
Reach out, when you're ready
Share one email address and, when you feel ready, a little about the burial you're arranging. That's the whole ask on this page. No pressure, no forms, no details you don't want to share.
02Step two
We gently connect you
We help connect you with a licensed funeral home or cemetery near you that can guide the burial with patience and care. StillMeadow doesn't provide or arrange the burial itself — we make a gentle introduction.
03Step three
Compare options and pricing
The provider walks you through the choices — traditional or green burial, plots, caskets and more — and an itemized price list, so you understand every option and cost. Prices and options vary by provider and location.
04Step four
You decide, in your own time
Choose the cemetery, the plot and the arrangements that feel right for your family, and arrange it directly on terms you agree to. You are never obligated, and never have to decide more than you're ready to.
StillMeadow is an independent information and referral service. We do not provide or arrange burial ourselves — we help connect you with licensed funeral homes and cemeteries. Any provider you choose is independently responsible for the care and services it provides. Prices and options vary, and nothing is guaranteed.
How we help
Every part of a burial, gently guided
Whatever you’re arranging, we aim to connect you with providers who handle it with care. Descriptions below are general information — options and pricing come from the funeral home or cemetery you choose.
Traditional burial
A timeless farewell
A classic in-ground burial with the rites your family holds dear — visitation, service and interment at a cemetery, guided with patience and care.
Options vary by funeral home and cemetery.
Green / natural burial
Returning to the earth
An eco-friendly farewell without embalming chemicals or a concrete vault, using a biodegradable casket or simple shroud in a natural or conservation burial ground.
Availability varies by cemetery.
Cemetery plot selection & purchase
A resting place
Help choosing and purchasing a burial plot, lawn crypt or family plot in a cemetery that feels right — with clear costs, never pressure.
Plots and pricing vary by cemetery.
Casket & burial vault selection
Chosen with care
Honest guidance selecting a casket and, where a cemetery requires one, a burial vault or grave liner — only what you want, with no upselling.
Selection and pricing vary.
Graveside service
Gathering together
A committal or graveside service where family and friends gather to say goodbye, with readings, music or rituals that reflect their life and faith.
Options vary by provider.
Headstones, markers & memorials
A lasting tribute
Help arranging a headstone, flat marker, plaque or memorial that carries their name and their story for the years to come.
Materials and costs vary.
Mausoleum & entombment
Above-ground rest
Guidance on entombment in a mausoleum crypt or a columbarium niche, for families who prefer an above-ground resting place.
Availability varies by cemetery.
Transportation & procession
A dignified journey
Coordinating respectful transfer, hearse and the funeral procession to the cemetery, arranged with dignity from beginning to end.
Services vary by provider.
Documentation, permits & interment paperwork
The paperwork
Help with death certificates, burial-transit permits and the interment paperwork a cemetery requires — handled with care so you can focus on your family.
Requirements vary by state.
The services above are general information only. StillMeadow does not provide, arrange or price any of these services itself — we connect you with licensed funeral homes and cemeteries. Prices, plots and options vary by provider and location, and nothing is guaranteed. Ask any provider for an itemized price list before you decide.
You’re not alone
When a gentle guide helps most
There is no wrong time to ask for help. These are the moments families most often reach out for a compassionate hand.
You're arranging a burial
You've experienced a loss, or you're planning ahead, and you'd like a licensed funeral home or cemetery to carry the arrangements gently with you.
You want a green or natural burial
You'd like an eco-friendly farewell — no embalming chemicals, a biodegradable casket or shroud, a natural resting place — and someone who offers it with care.
You're comparing cemeteries and plots
Costs and options vary widely, and you want to understand plots, vault requirements and itemized pricing before you decide anything.
You're honoring their specific wishes
They shared how they wanted to be laid to rest, and you want a provider who will honor those wishes faithfully and without pressure.
Whoever you consider, take your time: confirm the funeral home or cemetery is licensed, ask for an itemized price list (your right under the FTC Funeral Rule), and trust how they treat you. You can also look up a provider at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
Why StillMeadow
We connect you. We don’t provide the burial ourselves.
That is the whole model, and we say it plainly. StillMeadow is an independent information and referral service — the licensed funeral home or cemetery you choose provides the care and arrangements, on terms you agree to directly with them.
We connect — we don't provide the burial
StillMeadow is an independent information and referral service. The burial, cemetery and related services are provided by the licensed funeral home or cemetery you choose, never by us.
Licensed funeral homes and cemeteries
We help connect you with independent, licensed funeral homes and cemeteries. Each is separately responsible for the care and services it provides to your family.
You have the right to clear pricing
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give you an itemized price list and let you choose only what you want. Cemeteries maintain their own pricing — ask for it. We never set or collect fees.
Honest and unhurried — no pressure
Prices, plots and options vary by provider and location. We don't promise a price or push you toward anything — you decide, gently, in your own time.
Composite stories
What compassionate guidance can feel like
Gentle, honest accounts of what the referral experience can be like.
When my husband passed, I couldn't think straight. StillMeadow connected me with a funeral home that sat with me, explained a traditional burial step by step, and never once rushed or upsold me. It was the gentleness I needed.
MMarta Asheville, North Carolina
We wanted a green burial, and I didn't know that was even possible nearby. They pointed us to a natural burial ground with clear, itemized pricing. My mother returned to the earth just as she'd wished.
GGlenn Missoula, Montana
I was comparing cemeteries and completely overwhelmed by the costs. The provider they introduced me to laid every fee out plainly and let me take my time. I chose a plot that felt peaceful, with no pressure at all.

Know your rights
A little guidance before you decide
A few gentle reminders that protect your family and your peace of mind. These are genuinely useful — and free public resources — that apply no matter who you choose.
How to choose a burial provider with confidence
Whether you work with a funeral home or cemetery we connect you to or find on your own, keep these in mind:
Ask for an itemized price list. The FTC Funeral Rule gives you the right to a General Price List from a funeral home and to choose only what you want; ask cemeteries for itemized pricing too.
Confirm the provider is licensed. Licensing helps ensure the funeral home or cemetery meets your state’s standards of care.
Ask about green or natural burial if that matters to you. Not every cemetery offers it, so it’s worth asking early.
Take your time — there’s no rush. A compassionate provider will never pressure you. Decide only what feels right, when it feels right.
Reach for support. Grief is heavy. Lean on people you trust, and if you’re in crisis, call or text 988. You can also check a provider at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
