Help Obituary?

[banger12]

Does anybody know much about obituaries? Although my suicide is delayed for the time being, it is still the final goal. I kind of want to get out ahead of my family and have one prepared and locked in prior. Like mail it out with a check the day of to whichever paper or publication or company would be responsible for distributing it and I'd be dead but with the peace of mind that my obituary would be the only version people would see.

But does anyone know how I would go about this or how much it would cost? If I'd mail or e-mail this to my local paper or a website or what? Of such a thing we're to be published I'd want to be the author, I'd especially want it to specify that I died by suicide

That's a great idea. I know my mom wrote hers. Call you local paper and ask what their procedure for submitting one. You could tell them you're terminal and prefer to handle this yourself. It's not like they're going to say no. Then all of the websites pick it up from them.

Thank you. That's extremely helpful and I appreciate it. That's good advice and I also like knowing the whole process and who sources what from who.

Also idk how long ago your mother passed but I'm sorry for your loss and you have my condolences.
