For generations, the way people deal with death has been the same. The funeral industry hasn’t changed in over 150 years but people's wishes and needs have evolved. The current process is cold, complex and incredibly stressful, and usually involves an expensive trip to a local solicitor and funeral home. In fact, the average cost of dying is the highest it’s ever been in the UK (almost £10k in 2020) and 1 in 8 families falls into funeral poverty.

Farewill was created to address this, and to make death easier for everyone. By blending smart technology with outstanding customer service, the team are making everything about it simpler, cheaper, faster and fairer for people all over the UK - from wills, to funerals, to estate admin. 

Since launch in 2015, Farewill has become the UK’s largest will writer and its fastest-growing funeral provider. The organisation has been voted the UK’s best-rated death experts on Trustpilot (rated 4.9/5 by 6,000 people), and won National Will Writing Firm of the Year 2019 at the British Wills and Probate awards. It was also recently awarded the Social Innovation Startup prize at the 2020 Europas.  

Farewill is backed and supported by some of the best investors and entrepreneurs in Europe, from the founders of Zoopla and TransferWise, to Kindred Capital, JamJar, DMGT and SAATCHiNVEST.
 

It’s been featured in The Guardian, The Times, Forbes, the FT, the Telegraph and on the BBC, among others. What’s more, Farewill’s generous customers have helped raise over £260 million for charity partners - including Macmillan, Cancer Research UK, Crisis, and Save the Children - by leaving a gift in their will.
