Funariaceae is a family of mosses in order Funariales. [Buck, William R. & Bernard Goffinet. 2000. "Morphology and classification of mosses", pages 71-123 "in" A. Jonathan Shaw & Bernard Goffinet (Eds.), "Bryophyte Biology". (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). ISBN 0-521-66097-1.] There are approximately 300 species included in the family, with 200 species in "Funaria" and another 80 classified in "Physcomitrium".cite book| last= McIntosh | first= Terry T. | year=2002 | title=Flora of North America | volume=27 | chapter=Funariaceae | pages=180-199 | chapterurl = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=10352 | isbn=978-0-19-531823-4 ]

The genus "Goniomitrium" has been recently moved from the Pottiaceae to the Funariaceae. [cite journal| last=Goffinet | first=Bernard | coauthors= Norman J. Wickett, Olaf Werner, Rosa Maria Ros, A.
