Why wouldn't people use this column to post Obit's?  Do you know what the newspapers are charging to post them...$350.00 and up, per each paper you might choose.  When my husband died a year ago, I wanted more posted in the paper but the funeral director said cut it down, cut it down, I couldn't even list where my children lived nor his family members who expired before him or who still remained.  Yes, I would jump at the chance to use Tributes.com.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eleanor Burdick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2008 7:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tributes.com Sounding Death Knell for Newspaper Obituaries?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/02/tributes-com-sounding-death-knell-for-newspaper-obituaries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/02/tributes-com-sounding-death-knell-for-newspaper-obituaries/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have been using sites like tributes.com for a couple of years now. they are great because everyone all over the world can read your loved ones obit. you can also post photos and add additional information that you cant do in a newspaper, plus it's online forever, the newspaper only runs a few days to a week and like the other poster said it can run several hundred dollars, online is free! two sites I used for my parents and siblings obits are findagrave.com and rememberwell.net, findagrave.com is cool because not only is there tributes for loved ones there is also a section for famous people, and as the name implies you can find a grave of your friends and loved ones, volunteers will go out per your request to look in cemeterys for the grave of who you are looking for and take a photo of it for you . Just another great use of the internet!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Susie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 12:06PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
