FUNEXPO 2026 in Lyon: stay close to Eurexpo

FUNEXPO is France's flagship gathering for everyone working in the funeral sector. Over three days, manufacturers, distributors and service providers showcase their offer to funeral homes, memorial stonemasons, thanatopractors, crematorium and columbarium managers, as well as local authorities running cemeteries and public funeral facilities. The event takes place at the Eurexpo exhibition centre in Lyon, easily reached by high-speed train, plane, tram or metro, and with direct access from the A43 motorway. The 2026 edition is expected to bring together around 150 exhibitors across product areas such as funeral goods manufacturing and distribution, cemetery equipment, hygiene and care products, fittings, design and architecture, and services. Visitors can follow three themed tour routes: Made in France, Digital Services and Sustainable Development. These routes help trade attendees find suppliers that match their priorities, whether that means local production, digital transformation or greener practices. The Product Gallery, featuring around 80 items and services selected by exhibitors, makes it easy to spot innovations at a glance. For those travelling to Lyon from further afield, hotel options near Eurexpo can be found in Chassieu, Vaulx-en-Velin and the eastern part of the Lyon metropolitan area, with direct bus links to the venue via the Direct Eurexpo line. The November dates are designed to support business meetings and help buyers plan year-end orders as well as requirements for 2027.
