86% of all funeral homes in the U.S. are independently-owned. This is part of what makes the funeral industry special. So many funeral directors have felt a personal calling to serve families through their worst moments, for more reasons than just money.
Gather shares that same DNA and same desire-- we exist to help funeral homes and the families you serve. And because we are independently owned, we own our destiny and control our path. We are free to help funeral homes in the best way possible without being beholden to another larger company or private equity group.
Many of the legacy technology companies in the funeral industry are owned by other larger companies, which many times have different motivations and objectives. Gather is different.
We were a startup that saw a need and grew day after day for over a decade by solving real problems in an innovative way. We are profitable and growing and continuing to drive innovation in the industry.
The inspiration behind Gather came from the experience my mom had with a kind funeral director after the loss of my dad. That kindness is repeated every day by funeral directors all across the world and we come to work every day to give back to you for the work you do to make the world a better place to live.
Rather than take our marching orders from a faceless company in a quarterly board meeting, we take our orders from our customer's feedback every day. And that reality is reflected in the quality of the product we've built and the support we provide. And we are just getting started.
