Sendoff Funeral App
Sendoff is a mobile and web platform digitizing the entire deathcare value chain and providing our users with convenience, information and a 10X better Customer eXperience for funeral related services. Sendoff solves the friction and painpoints around deathcare for late Gen Xers & Early Millennials (35-45).We provide a technology solution to allow people to "find anything funeral" on Sendoff and are completely changing the way people approach deathcare.
Sendoff began as an idea in 2019 after our Founder helped out with a funeral and thought....."There's GOT TO be a better way to do this"
There wasn’t.
So we built one.
We’ve created a trustable, repeatable and scalable way for people to manage an unavoidable life step in a sensitive, efficient and cost effective way. The same way that Uber disrupted transportation and AirBnb disrupted accommodation; Sendoff is fundamentally changing the deathcare space.
