Submit An Obituary

The Berkeley Observer is proud to offer low-cost online obituaries. You’ve already suffered one tragedy – and paying the high cost to announce a loved one’s passing shouldn’t further add to your grief or stress as you prepare to say a final goodbye.

While costs typically vary from one publication to the next, an average obituary can easily run you between $200-$500. However, The Berkeley Observer only charges a one-time fee of $25 per obituary.


NOTE: Obituaries are also added to FindAGrave.com as an extra layer of archiving at no extra cost.


To submit your obituary for publication:

1. Please make a one-time payment of $25 below:

2. Next, please send a photo (up to 10 images allowed) of the deceased to [email protected]. Please make sure to include the name of the person in the photo.

3. Finally, please answer the following questions in the form below. Once finished, hit the “submit” button.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We will email you the link to the published obituary after it is processed.

NOTE: Our obituaries are online only. There is not a print version.
