RedBottle was referred to Murphy and Sons Funeral Home in June 2009 because they were in the same situation as Brown and Powers – their hosting firm was going out-of-business, and the firm had no plans to keep hosting the funeral home's website.

Just as with Brown and Powers, the firm agreed to provide only a poorly structured, poorly formatted database dump from the old site, but refused to provide the site software. As a result, just as with Brown and Powers, RedBottle had to rebuild the site from scratch while preserving and/or importing the existing data.

Fortunately, the similarities between the two websites provided RedBottle with a unique opportunity to reduce development time. By using the same type of approach to both sites, and by developing the features for both sites in tandem, RedBottle was able to launch the re-constructed Murphy and Sons website on July 24th, 2009 – only four days after the launch of the new Brown and Powers website.
