Legal
Terms of Use
Effective October 8, 2026
These terms apply to ProbateUS (www.probateus.com) and the other free websites run by Kempster Berger Inc. ("we", "us"):
- FuneralUS (www.funeralus.com)
- ProbateUS (www.probateus.com)
- VeteranFunerals (veteranfunerals.org)
- Cheap Funeral (www.cheap-funeral.com)
- FunerariaCerca (www.funerariacerca.com)
By using the sites you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
A free information service
The sites are directories and guides. They are free for visitors: there are no accounts, subscriptions or fees. We are not a funeral home, cemetery, crematory, court, law firm, insurer, financial adviser or government agency, and we don't sell funeral, legal or financial services.
Not professional advice
Everything on the sites is general information. It is not legal, financial, tax, medical or funeral-planning advice for your situation, and using the sites does not create an attorney-client or any other professional relationship.
Probate, estate and benefits rules differ by state and change over time. Calculators and checklists give estimates based on the rules we cite; they can be wrong or incomplete for your case. Before you act, check with the court, the agency involved or a licensed attorney or other professional.
Listings and prices
We build our listings of funeral homes, cemeteries, courts, hospices and other providers from public sources, government data and providers' own websites. Details such as prices, hours, phone numbers, services and fees can be out of date or wrong. Always confirm with the provider or court before you rely on them. A funeral home's current General Price List is the only binding price.
A listing is not an endorsement. We don't check licenses or the quality of anyone's services. Ratings and review counts shown on some pages come from third parties, and we don't control them.
If something about your business or court is wrong, email info@funeralus.com and we'll correct it.
No government affiliation
The sites are independent. VeteranFunerals is not a U.S. government site and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Veterans Affairs or any military branch. ProbateUS is not a court and is not affiliated with any court. FunerariaCerca is not affiliated with any consulate or government. For official decisions and forms, contact the agency, court or consulate directly.
Sponsored links and paid placements
We pay for the sites through business relationships, not by charging visitors. EverSettled, an estate-settlement service, is our sponsor: links and messages promoting EverSettled are labeled as sponsored, and we may benefit when you use EverSettled. Providers can pay for an upgraded listing, such as extra profile details or a badge. Neither changes the facts we report about a provider.
Requests you send through the sites
When you use a form to ask for help, we will try to answer, but we don't promise a response time or that a provider will be available or offer a particular price. Any agreement you make for funeral, legal, insurance or other services is between you and that provider. We are not a party to it and are not responsible for the provider's services.
Other websites
The sites link to websites we don't control, including EverSettled, providers and government agencies. We are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices.
Using the sites
Please don't:
- use the sites for anything unlawful or to harass anyone;
- submit false information, or someone else's details without their permission;
- try to break, overload or get around the security of the sites;
- copy the sites' content in bulk or scrape them in a way that burdens our servers.
Our content
The text, design and compilations on the sites belong to us or the people who license them to us. You may read, print and share pages for your own non-commercial use. Public-domain government data stays public domain.
Disclaimer
The sites and everything on them are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that the sites will always be available or free of errors.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your reliance on information on the sites or from a provider's services. Because the sites are free, our total liability for any claim relating to them is limited to US$100. Some states don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Indemnity
If you misuse the sites or break these terms and a claim is brought against us because of it, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be decided by the state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless the law of your home state requires otherwise.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Using the sites after a change means you accept the new terms.
