If your Always Remembering enhanced online obituary (either print or online-only) is submitted and approved before the scheduled run date, it will be eligible to appear online 1 day prior.
If you order the Always Remembering upgrade to your print obituary and you do not submit it by the scheduled print publication date, the print obituary replica will publish online and the Always Remembering enhanced online obituary submission will replace it upon approval.
If you order the Always Remembering enhanced online-only obituary and you do not submit it before the scheduled run date, it will not appear online until it is submitted and approved.
Can I still make changes after my Always Remembering enhanced online obituary is published?
Yes, whether you found a photo at the last minute or you want to change some of the text — just login, select your obituary, make your edits, and submit it for review.
What photos should I include?
*Please note: Higher quality photos will make your photo gallery appear better.
What information should I include in the Life Story?
We suggest families focus the obituary description on information about their loved one and their life. You can write up to five pages of text, so there is plenty of room to expand and share.
We also offer modules for information related to Memorial Events, including funeral details, organizations to commemorate your loved one as well as those individuals preceding and surviving your loved one in death.
