Can I republish an existing obituary at a later date?
In some cases, you may want to republish an existing obituary on a significant anniversary or special occasion. Check with the original publication or online platform for their policies on republication.
How do I handle errors or corrections in an already-published obituary?
If you discover errors or need to make corrections in a published obituary, contact the publication or online platform immediately. They will work with you to correct the mistake and reprint/republish the revised version.
