Placing Obituaries – About the Process
Centre City Cremation can help with the steps necessary to place an obituary, including some requirements of which you may not be aware. Among these are:

Authorization to Place an Obituary Notice
In some cases, the newspaper may only accept obituaries only if they are submitted by the funeral home or cremation service. Our team will help determine if this is the case for the newspaper of your choice and formulate a plan of action accordingly. Please contact Centre City Cremation for more information.

Newspaper Fees for Placing Obituaries
Many newspapers no longer offer free obituary notices. The team at Centre City Cremation can help make you aware of unexpected charges and fees. When you enlist the services of our team based in downtown San Diego, we will inquire about all obituaries-related fees and communicate these to you before placing the notice on your behalf.

Other Considerations
Families should be aware that placing an obituary is not mandatory. Rather, it is a voluntary measure designed to ease the grief of a loss and commemorate a loved one. To learn more about other actions that are required in the weeks and months after a death, visit our cremation process page, and contact us for more information.
