After your bundle, it's $297 a month. No setup fee.
What the $297 includes
- A website built and hosted for you. Your services, your obituaries, your photos and your words. You own your domain and your content.
- An AI phone helper. It answers your calls day or night in your funeral home's name, with its own name and voice. You decide which calls go straight to the director on call.
- An AI chatbot on your website that also works by text. It answers questions about service times, directions and pre-planning.
- Google review requests. Kind, short requests in your words, sent only when you decide a family is ready.
There is no extra charge per call, per minute or per message on the plan above.
How that compares with an answering service
Most funeral homes cover nights and weekends with a human answering service. A 2026 industry guide from Vida lists typical funeral home answering service prices like this:
| Option | Typical monthly cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Basic answering service | $140 to $250 | Message taking during set hours |
| Mid tier answering service | $250 to $350 | 24/7 answering and paging |
| Premium answering service | $350 to $500 | Funeral trained operators, more minutes |
| In house receptionist | $3,000 to $3,500 | One person, set hours ($36,000 to $42,000 a year) |
| HollerHound | $297 | Phone helper 24/7, plus a website, chatbot and review requests |
Answering service and receptionist ranges from Vida's funeral home answering service guide (2026). Your local prices may differ.
