Frequently Asked Questions
What is the app that creates obituaries?
While there isn’t a single, universally recognized “obituary app,” several online memorial platforms and services offer tools to help create and publish obituaries. Some examples include Tribute Archive, Legacy.com, and various funeral home websites. These typically provide templates and guidance for writing and sharing an obituary.
Does the Washington Post have obituaries?
Yes, The Washington Post publishes obituaries. You can usually find them on their website under the “Obituaries” section. They feature both staff-written obituaries of notable individuals and paid notices submitted by families.
Why is there no obituary for someone?
There are several reasons why an obituary might not be published. The family may have chosen not to publish one, preferring a private memorial. Cost can also be a factor, as publishing obituaries in newspapers often involves fees. Additionally, the family might have opted to publish the obituary only on a funeral home’s website or a smaller local publication.
Why can’t I find an obituary of someone who died?
If you’re having trouble finding an obituary, consider several possibilities. First, check the websites of local funeral homes in the area where the person lived or died. Also, try searching on larger obituary databases like Legacy.com or Ancestry.com.
