Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can family members submit an obituary directly?

A: At this time our policy is that all obituaries must be entered into our system by licensed funeral service companies. If you wish for an obituary to show up on this site, or on the television broadcast(s), you need to contact a licensed funeral home. If your funeral home is not currently using our system, please ask that they contact us to sign up.

Q: How do I get the password to log in to view condolence messages that have been left for my family member?

A: The funeral services company that entered the notification can provide you with the password.

Q: Can I recieve an email of the daily notices?

A: Yes. You can register for an account on the LOGIN page. Click on Register to begin that process. During registration you will choose the frequency you would like to receive the notification emails; daily, weekly, or monthly.

Q: Can out of state funeral homes be affilated with this site?

A: At the moment the answer is no, but we are in the process of expanding outside the state. We do have partner homes in state that will place the obituary for an out-of-area family.

Please use the contact form if you wish to speak with a partner home and we will make sure you get in touch.

Q: I'm looking for a notificaton for someone but can't find them on your site. Can you help?

A: All of our notifications are entered by funeral services companies at the request of family members. We do not "harvest" notifications from other sources or sites. Only those requested by family members will show up on our site.

Q: Why do I not see the condolence messages I left for the family?

A: All condolence messages are private to the family. If the family wishes, they can allow the message to be made "public" and shown on notification page
