ET, That's so true about many of the funeral homes having online obituaries. I subscribe to many of the ones in the areas I'm researching and receive email notifications when new ones are posted. With so many online newspaper websites now requiring a fee to visit their sites as I used to, ...

Yep ..I come up with great ideas and I try not to make it seem like I am creating a job for any one person, regardless. We all can do this one funeral program at a time. Just need a way for the less computer savvy to do this. It seems everyone has IPhones, always taking pictures. If that could be ...
