Bring a funeral home. Earn $250.
Services come from funeral homes, and a director listens to a mourner from their own town long before they listen to us. So we pay for the introduction.
- Share your link with a funeral director you know, or give them your code for the partner form.
- $100 when the home pays for its first service, $150 more when it reaches five.
- Something to hand them: MournMate was featured in The Spectator on 26 September 2026.
Mourners only. Sign in to see your code. Funeral directors can learn about the partner program here.
$100
first paid service
$150
fifth paid service
No quotas, no sales pitch, no limit on how many homes you bring. If the home is in your service range, you are first in line for its services too. The bounty is on top of your normal earnings.
