How to Post Free Obituaries
Grieving the loss of a loved one or dear friend is never easy, but sometimes it helps to memorialize them in a way you can share with others. The funeral home traditionally submits an obituary to the local newspaper, but this can be costly. Instead, you can post a free obituary online that everyone can visit to celebrate the life of the deceased. You may also be able to submit a newspaper obituary for free, depending on the policy of your local paper.

Tips & Warnings
Obituaries Free is owned and operated by a florist. They don't charge any fee for posting obituaries and you're not obligated to purchase anything. They do ask that if you want to send flowers or sympathy cards you keep them in mind.
Be aware that many sites claim to provide free obituaries, but they're really only offering a free trial for a paid memorial website.
