How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper or online platform?

Check the submission guidelines for the specific publication or platform you're using. You may need to provide the obituary text, photo(s), and payment information (if applicable). Some funeral homes also offer assistance with submitting obituaries.

What if I don't want to include certain information in the obituary?
