Alternatives, compared

Ever Loved alternatives:
six options, compared.

Ever Loved's own site index lists memorial pages, obituaries, funeral flowers, donation pages and a search for funeral homes, cemeteries and hospices. Its prices and fees couldn't be read on the verification date, because the site answers non-browser requests with a bot challenge, so this page doesn't quote them. The six alternatives split by job: GoFundMe for the money, Keeper, Memories and Kudoboard for a page that stays up, Give InKind for organizing meals and rides, and MORTL for the obituary, the program and the eulogy, free and without an account.

Last verified September 18, 2026. Every figure links to the company page it was read from. Prices and services can change.

Conflict disclosure: MORTL wrote this page and appears in it. Every claim about another company links to that company's current official page. No company on this page pays MORTL anything, and no link is an affiliate link. Corrections: Report an Error.

What Ever Loved is

Ever Loved, in its own words.

Ever Loved's pages couldn't be read from MORTL's verification environment on September 18, 2026: every page, from the home page to pricing, returned a Cloudflare bot challenge to non-browser clients. What its own site index (robots.txt) shows it runs: memorial pages, obituaries, funeral flower and product orders, donation pages, a search for funeral homes, cemeteries, hospices, death doulas and venues, a grief section, an after-death checklist and funeral planning content.

Published cost: Not verified. No price or fee could be read on the verification date, so none is printed here. Check its pricing page in a browser for the memorial page price, any fee on donations, and how funds are paid out.
Free tier: Not verified.
Legal documents: Its index lists no legal-document product. It's a memorial, obituary and funeral-search site.
Account: Not verified.
Status: Live. Its server answered a request with status 200 on September 18, 2026; the page body was withheld behind the challenge.

Give InKind is "the free, all-in-one tool for coordinating support": a care calendar, a wishlist, updates, and fundraising buttons that link to Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or GoFundMe. Its FAQ says it "does not take any part of your contribution" and that gift cards arrive at face value.

Built for: Organizing meals, rides and gift cards for the family, with a fundraiser linked

MORTL

MORTL's obituary maker assembles a complete obituary from your answers and downloads it as PDF or Word, with no account and no gate, and its page says what newspapers charge to run one. The funeral program maker, eulogy builder, thank-you note tool and pet obituary work the same way. MORTL doesn't host memorial pages or run fundraisers.

Built for: Writing the obituary, the program, the eulogy and the thank-you notes, free
Published cost: Free.
Free tier: Every tool named here
Account: None.
The limit to know: No memorial hosting, no fundraising, no funeral-home listings beyond the verified provider directory.

Start from the job

Which one fits which situation.

You need an obituary by tomorrow

MORTL's obituary maker builds one from what you know and downloads it as PDF or Word, free, no account. Memories bundles an obituary and eulogy writer into its $99 plan. Papers charge to print an obituary; the obituary maker page lists what they charge and what to leave out.

Obituary maker →How to write an obituary →

You need to raise money for the funeral

GoFundMe charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per donation in the US and nothing to start; add the family as the beneficiary so the money goes to them. Keeper doesn't offer personal fundraising. Give InKind links a GoFundMe onto its page and takes no cut of its own. Before you set a goal, price the funeral itself.

You want a page that stays up

Keeper says free and paid memorials stay online indefinitely and the free tier never expires. Kudoboard marks its boards as accessible forever and lets you export the content. Memories charges $12 a year per story to keep hosting after the one-time fee. Whichever you pick, download a copy; a page you can't export is a page you can lose.

Funeral program maker →Pet memorial ideas →

You want to organize help, not a tribute

Give InKind runs the meal train, the rides, the childcare and the gift cards from one free page, with a fundraiser linked if there is one. A memorial page does none of that. If the family is drowning in offers to help, this is the tool that turns the offers into a schedule.

Questions people ask

The short answers.

Is Ever Loved free?

MORTL couldn't read Ever Loved's pricing on September 18, 2026: the site returns a bot challenge to non-browser requests, so no figure is quoted here. Open its pricing page in a browser and look for three things: what a memorial page costs, whether a fee comes off donations, and how and when money is paid out.

Which memorial sites are free?

Keeper Basic is $0, with one page and five photos or videos, and its company says free pages never expire. Kudoboard's Mini Memorial Board is free up to 10 posts. Memories lets you start free without a card, then charges $99 once for full access. MORTL's obituary, program and eulogy tools are free with no account. GoFundMe is free to start; the fee comes off each donation.

What does GoFundMe charge on a memorial fundraiser?

In the United States, 2.9% plus $0.30 per donation, deducted automatically, and nothing to start or manage the fundraiser. Donor tips to GoFundMe are optional. Certified charity fundraisers pay 2.2% plus $0.30. Its FAQ says setting up transfers takes 3 to 7 business days or longer, then 2 to 5 business days to reach the bank.

Can I fundraise on Keeper?

Not for a person. Keeper's help center says "Personal fundraising is not currently available on Keeper" and that it plans to add it. Charity donations attached to memorial pages moved over from GatheringUs remain active.

What happened to GatheringUs?

Keeper Memorials bought it in 2022. Its About page says all GatheringUs memorial pages are being migrated to Keeper in 2026 and none will remain on GatheringUs.com; migrated owners get a Keeper Plus page at no cost. GatheringUs now sells virtual and hybrid funeral events, from $750 for a livestream to $2,300 for a hybrid premium service.

Do any of these sites replace the funeral home's obituary?

No. A memorial page is separate from the notice a funeral home or newspaper publishes. MORTL's obituary maker page explains what papers charge and what belongs in the printed notice versus the page; the how-to-find-an-obituary story covers where published notices end up.
