Beacon | Funeral Home WordPress Theme 1.3

Beacon is a specialized and empathetic WordPress theme designed for funeral homes, cemeteries, crematoriums, and burial services. Developed by ThemeREX, it prioritizes a serene, respectful aesthetic while providing the specific functional tools required for bereavement services.

Unlike the "active" energy of Malta or the "chic" look of Audrey, Beacon focuses on dignity and ease of use for families during difficult times.
