Submitting Obituaries

The Daily Memphian provides this service completely free of charge.

Obituaries are typically submitted by the funeral home to obituaries@dailymemphian.com. You may also submit the obituary directly by including a copy of the death certificate. If you do not have a copy of the death certificate, you may provide the contact information for the funeral home, crematorium, or body donation service for verification of death.

There is no character limit and obits can also include a photo. Please submit the obituary in text or word document form. A photocopy or screenshot of the obituary cannot be published. Photos can be submitted in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, and .png formats.

Obituaries received Monday – Friday by 4:30 pm will be posted within 24 hours. Obituaries received on weekends and holidays are posted on the following business day.

For additional questions, please contact our Obits line at 901-842-1816.
