Create an Obituary
Enter your loved one's legal name, date of birth and date of passing. We require this information to verify the identity of the deceased. Should you wish to hide the date of birth or date of passing, click on the selection box titled, "Hide date of birth from the online obituary” and/or “Hide date of passing from the online obituary", as desired.
Please provide the funeral home information, or the name and contact number of any party who can verify the death of this individual (i.e. a crematorium, medical research facility, etc.)
We cannot confirm the passing with an organization such as a Hospice, Hospital or Church.
We require the name of the Funeral Home or Crematorium to verify the passing before publication. For overseas Funeral Homes, please email a copy of the death certificate to selfserveclassifieds@postmedia.com.
The Funeral Home/Crematorium name may appear in print and/or online.
