An obituary notice is a paid listing, often provided for you by the attending mortuary. If the mortuary does not place the obituary notice, you can place one yourself via any of the following methods:
Online: http://ezads.sfchron.com/sf-adportal/obits/ — This is a self-serve portal.
Email: lifetributes@sfchronicle.com
Mail to:
Life Tributes
San Francisco Chronicle
901 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
All notices must be typed.
A representative from the LifeTributes Desk will call you with a price quote. Payment is made by credit card over the phone.
WHEN YOU SUBMIT:
Please provide your name, address, phone number & the name and city of the funeral home or cremation society. This is for verification purposes only. Omission of any of this information will delay publication.
If you would like to include a photo in the obit, please attach the photo to your email. Photos will publish one inch wide by one-and-one-half inches deep. Please do not crop the photo.
