The Problem

When someone dies in Portugal, families have 24-48 hours to arrange a funeral costing €2,000-€5,000. They're emotionally devastated, time-pressured, and face an industry with almost zero price transparency. A DECO (Portuguese consumer association) study found that one in five funerals cost more than expected, and nearly half of families had no idea of total costs beforehand. Few request multiple quotes.

There is no Booking.com or Compara.pt equivalent for funeral services. FuneralOnline.pt exists but is a basic obituary platform, not a price comparison tool. Families default to whichever funeral home the hospital recommends or the one closest to them — often paying premium prices during their most vulnerable moment.
