[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funeral home that handled my mom's arrangements did an online obituary for free, or at least included in the packet.

We used cremation society of MD, and got the simplest package except for a slightly nicer scattering container, and the whole thing was under $2K.  [/quote]

Thanks, but I think you misunderstood my question. He has an obituary at the funeral home, but it sucks. No one will allow for it to be adjusted so I was looking to send an amended one on my own to a publication or news website and it is too cost prohibitive.[/quote]

The online ones are important.  Easier to find than newspapers because they are not paywalled.  I search for these when I have a reason.  One of the major online providers seems to be accessible/searchable through Ancestry.com.

I would try again with the funeral home.  Tell a manager that you are grieving and you can't afford $1,500.  Offer them $100 to edit it. Unless the blocking people are your relatives.

Another thought.  If the existing one offers comments, add your thoughts in the comments.[/quote]
