FAQs

How do I find obituaries in the US by name? ›

Many funeral homes publish obituaries on their websites. These can usually be located with a Google search on the person's name. Local genealogical and historical societies, public libraries, and some newspaper publishers maintain clipping files of obituaries.

How do I submit an obituary to Chattanooga Times Free Press? ›

Obits can be faxed to (423) 757-6674 or emailed to obits@timesfreepress.com.

How long after death do you write an obituary? ›

There is no specific rule that requires you to publish an obituary right away. In most cases, people aim to publish an obituary 1-2 weeks following the passing of a loved one. However, publishing it months or even a year after a loved one's death is completely okay.

Who comes first in an obituary? ›

The first paragraph of the obituary should include the deceased person's full name, including any nicknames they may have used, their age, date and place of death. Some people choose to include cause of death, but this is optional depending on how much information you would like to share.

How to find local obituaries? ›

Most of the time, if an obituary is available online, you will be able to find it with a Google search. However, if you still fail to see the results you want, consider looking through the websites of local funeral homes or newspapers. Unfortunately, you may have to pay to access content in a local online paper.

How much does it cost to put an obituary in the local newspaper? ›

Costs vary by publication. Newspapers charge by the line and can average $450 for a complete obituary. The average obituary cost begins at $200.00 and increases due to the amount of content, including a photograph and the length of the obituary.

Is the obituary app free? ›

The Obituary App for Android - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.

Why are funerals 3 days after death? ›

Most funerals typically occur within a few days to a week of a death. This is to allow the family and friends of the deceased to plan and gather for the service. It is also because modern embalming methods begin to wear off after about 7 days and may affect the deceased's appearance.

What is the last sentence of an obituary? ›

Concluding Message

Phrases like “We will always carry your memory in our hearts,” or perhaps a favorite quote of your loved one are heartfelt and personal.

Why would someone not want an obituary? ›

While there are many benefits to writing an obituary, there are also reasons why a family might not want to. Some may feel that it is too personal or private to share with the public, while others may not have the financial means to pay for its publication.

What does it mean when a name is in parentheses in an obituary? ›

If you like to be technical, names should be listed as follows: first name, spouse's first name in parenthesis, then surname (ex: Tom (Sarah) Johnson). If the spouse or partner's surname is different, include their surname in the parenthesis along with their first name (ex: Tom (Sarah Williams) Johnson).

What is the order of siblings in an obituary? ›

Spouse. Children (in order of date of birth) Grandchildren. Siblings (in order of date of birth)

What do you call unmarried couples in an obituary? ›

How do you refer to an unmarried partner in an obituary? Typically, an unmarried partner is referred to as a spouse or simply as a partner. You can also list them as a surviving relative if you feel it's appropriate. The goal is to list them in a way that best reflects the relationship they had with the deceased.

Are obituaries public domain? ›

Copyright and Obituaries. To be clear, obituaries are protected by copyright. They are creative works of expression that are fixed into a tangible medium of expression. Both the text and the images that make up an obituary are protected by copyright (even if the facts and information are not).

Is there an app for local obituaries? ›

As funeral homes across America post obituaries to their respective funeral home website, The Obituary App organizes them all into particular cities. Now, a user can look at all the obituaries posted by multiple funeral homes in one place. There are two obituary feeds within The Obituary App.

How do I find an obituary in NY? ›

Databases. New York Public Library subscribes to many databases that can help researchers locate obituaries and death notices. The most useful are our newspaper databases. Oftentimes obituaries can be located by entering a person's name and week of death into the newspapers databases.
