How long until an obituary is posted?
Obituaries and death notices can be published for one day, or they can run up and including the day of the funeral. As a rule of thumb, however, national newspapers and large urban newspapers are more expensive than newspapers with a small circulation.
How do I find out if a relative has died?
How to Find Out If Someone Has DiedRead through online obituaries. Social media should be your next choice. Visit the local church’s website. Do a general search on a search engine. Check local news websites. Locate the person’s grave site to confirm whether they’ve passed away. See if they’re on a genealogy website.
Do you mention ex spouses in obituaries?
Obituaries include a survivors section, usually at the end, which lists the family members that are still living. Most obituaries include the deceased’s current spouse in the list of survivors, but don’t mention any ex-spouses, as they are not typically considered current family.
Is it appropriate to announce a death on Facebook?
It’s best to only post a Facebook death announcement for someone who had a Facebook account while they were living. If they didn’t have a Facebook account, they may not appreciate you using that medium to share their personal information, even after death.
