When a member passes away, the funeral cost is divided among all living members.
Each member contributes only a few dollars—typically $1 to $8—per death.
The deceased member’s family receives up to $8,000 in funeral expense coverage.
Here is a simple and clear table showing how FuneralShare works using a base funeral cost of $8,000, and how the cost per member decreases as the number of active members increases:

Explanation
Every time a registered member passes away, the $8,000 funeral expense is divided equally among all living active members.
The larger the community, the smaller the burden on each individual.
As membership grows, the per-member cost decreases dramatically—without reducing the funeral coverage amount.
2. Cost Sharing Model
When a registered member passes away, the cost of their funeral is divided equally among all active members. This means that:
With 1,000 members, a $10,000 funeral costs each person $10
With 4,000 members, it drops to $2.5 each
With 10,000 members, it’s just $1 per person
All members are notified, and the amount is deducted from their digital wallets. The deceased’s family does not need to fundraise or pay upfront.
3. Digital Wallet System
Each member has a digital wallet topped up with an initial deposit. When a death occurs, your share is automatically deducted from the wallet. If your balance drops below $10, the system automatically deducts $25 from your linked account to replenish it. You can monitor your balance and transaction history online.
