Submit an Obituary

Families and funeral homes can send an obituary to the Columbia County Tribune with the form below. There is no charge to submit or publish an obituary.

How it works

  • Obituaries are 300 words or fewer.
  • We confirm every obituary with the funeral home, or by phone with the person who sent it, before we publish it.
  • We may edit an obituary for length and clarity.
  • You may include one photo, as a JPG, PNG, or HEIC file up to 10 MB.
  • We never publish your email address or phone number. We need them to confirm the obituary.
  • We publish an obituary once we have confirmed it. We cannot promise a publication date.

To report a mistake in an obituary that has already been published, use the Correction Request form.

How we handle what you send: read our Privacy and Terms.

    Fields marked required must be filled in. We confirm every obituary before it is published. Your email and phone number are never published.
