WordPress theme for funeral homes
A funeral home website families can lean on
Evergreen is a warm, accessible WordPress theme for funeral homes and cremation providers. Obituaries, services, pre-planning, and a clear way to reach you. Dignified design, no page builder, no bloat.
Often, it's the first place a grieving family turns
Before a family calls, they visit. They're looking for an obituary, a service time, directions, or just a feeling that they'll be treated with care. A cold or cluttered website plants doubt at the worst possible moment. Evergreen is built to meet families with the same warmth your firm gives in person.
A look inside
Designed for how families actually use the site
These are the moments that matter most to a family arriving on your site, designed with a quiet, careful hand.
Two paths, handled with care
Gentle direction for families facing a loss right now, and for those who have the time to plan ahead. Neither is made to feel rushed.
Services
Clear pages for funerals, cremation, and memorials, so a family understands what you offer without having to ask.
The most recent losses, right where families look first
A family checking your homepage sees the most recent obituaries without digging through a menu. It updates on its own as your staff publishes, so the page is never stale.
Obituaries
Easy to find, easy to read, easy to share. The most-visited page on the site, treated like it.
The people behind the firm
Directors and staff, shown with warmth. For many families, the people are the reason they choose one firm over another.
Every card, actually yours to edit
Open any page in the block editor and every card, whether it's a service, an obituary, or a director bio, is a real WordPress block you can click into and edit. It's not raw HTML standing in for a page builder.
On every screen
Clear and calm on a phone, where many families will first reach you. The layout reflows instead of shrinking.
A point of craft
Obituaries your staff can publish and families can find
The obituary is the most-visited page on any funeral home site. Evergreen handles obituaries as standard WordPress content, gathered on a dedicated page. Your staff writes them the simple way you'd write any post. Families find, read, and share them without friction. And because they're standard WordPress content, the obituaries you publish stay with you, even if you ever change themes.
They also surface automatically on the homepage, so a returning visitor doesn't have to go looking.
The difference
Simple to keep up, and truly yours
Most funeral home themes are built on page builders like Elementor or WPBakery. They're slow, they're fiddly to maintain, and they tie your site to a plugin you have to keep paying for.
Evergreen is built natively for the WordPress block editor, the one already inside WordPress. Pages load fast, updates are simple, and your content stays in plain WordPress, so the site is always yours to keep.
Even the section cards you saw above (services, obituaries, director bios) are ordinary WordPress blocks. Click in and edit them like any post. There's nothing to unlock, nothing to convert.
Built for everyone who visits
Readable and clear, for families under stress
The people using a funeral home website are often older, and almost always grieving. Evergreen meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, with large, readable type and simple navigation. No one should have to struggle to find a service time or an obituary. For this audience, that care is the whole point.

Questions
Common questions
- Do I need a page builder?
- No. Evergreen uses the block editor built into WordPress.

- Yes. Every card and section in the demo is a real WordPress block, not a chunk of custom HTML. Click into it in the editor and change it like you would any paragraph.
- How do obituaries work?
- Each is a standard WordPress post on a dedicated obituaries page. Simple to publish, easy to share, and yours to keep.
- Is the 24-hour contact button pushy?
- No. It's a small pill in the corner that opens into your phone number, email, address, and hours when tapped. No popup, no countdown, nothing that interrupts someone reading an obituary.
- Can I get it customized?
- Yes. That's what I do. Get in touch.
- What happens after a year?
