How to place an obituary:
Please send us an email with the following information:
1. Your first and last name
2. Your phone number
3. The information you want to be included
4. Photo (if available)
5. Name of the funeral home taking care of arrangements
6. Phone number of the funeral home taking care of arrangements
7. The date you would like your obituary published
We will
send you a proof of what the obituary will look like along with the cost. If you need to make changes, we can do that before it is published. We will provide you with our phone number so you can provide us with credit card/debit card information to pay for it.
When you make your payment, you will immediately receive a receipt from Authorize.net.
Before published an obituary, we must verify the decedent's passing with a licensed party for our records. If you are not working with a funeral home, you may provide us with the name and number of a mortuary, crematorium, or medical donation program. Alternatively, we can accept a scanned death certificate which you can include with your email.
If you aren't quite ready to publish the obituary, we will send you pricing to assist you with you with your decision.
