How to submit an obituary
- Email your submission to [email protected]
NOTE: If you’ve requested that the funeral home send your loved one’s obituary to The Chelsea Post on your behalf, there’s no need to send it to us separately. - Send obituary text in the body of your email or as an attached Word document — not a PDF. We may do light editing if needed, but please be careful to spell all names correctly. Include full name, date of passing, city/town of residence, survivors, and any service or memorial details.
- Attach a photo as a JPG or PNG file — not embedded in the email body. We may crop the photo if necessary to fit the layout.
- For our records only, please include: your name, email, and phone number, the name and email of the person responsible for payment if different, and the name of the funeral home handling arrangements.
- Once we receive your submission, we will confirm publication and send a payment link.
