Try Salem Reporter’s Obituary Service 

Our digital obituary service is now available to anyone. It’s easy to use, more generous with space and photos than most, and priced to be affordable. 

We have guidelines and an online form to use, but here are the basics: 

*Obituary text has no limit (but no book-length submissions, please).  

*Up to five photos can be loaded to share – not just one. 

*Obituaries first appear in our obituary section, then in a summary of the week’s obituaries. That summary then appears on our Facebook and Twitter channels. 

*The price is a flat $100. 

Go HERE to use the submission form.
