Print pricing depends on three things: which newspapers you choose, the length of the obituary and whether it includes one or more photos. The total appears on the review step before you pay, and you can adjust papers or length to change it.

Yes. While it is awaiting review, you can correct it yourself from the private manage link we email you when you submit. Once it is published, call 1-866-236-0023 and we will make the correction promptly. Print versions cannot be changed after the newspaper deadline, so check the review step carefully before you pay.

For the main portrait, choose a clear head-and-shoulders shot; the system crops it to fit. Try to avoid screenshots, heavily filtered images and photos copied from social media, which are usually too small to print well.

We set every celebration not to expire, and it becomes part of our archive. We don’t delete celebrations and we intend to keep them online indefinitely. Technology changes, though, and no website can promise forever. If you want a lasting record, publishing a printed version is the time-tested way to create one. Newspapers are preserved in libraries and archives, and a printed page endures long after formats and servers change.

LifeCelebrations.com is part of Weeklys Media Group, an independent, owner-operated community media company that has published titles for more than a century and a half. A digital pioneer, we have operated on the web since 1995—before newcomers like Google and Facebook existed—and have maintained a free, non-paywalled archive of our material for more than 30 years. Your celebration joins that archive.

Find your funeral home in the directory, open its page and select the claim link. We verify the request before transferring control of the listing, which lets you update details and manage submissions on behalf of families.
