Funeralopolis was formed in August 2009, at the Mountains Of Death Festival, out of the ashes of Human Waste. Four Swiss death metal maniacs decided to form an old school death metal band with doom influences.

In early November 2009, Nico joined the band on bass and Thuri switched to guitar. In March 2010, vocalist Void decided to left the band. Thuri took his part beside the guitar as vocalist. After Void left the band, some other influences found their way into the sound of Funeralopolis.

In February 2011, Tina left the band and Mike joined on drums.
