In time for the funeral, the chautha, or a specific anniversary date. For a remembrance, simply choose the exact date in the calendar — the ad publishes on the day that matters, not a day late.
Newspapers ask for proof on a fresh obituary to prevent hoax ads. We accept the common alternatives, and a remembrance needs nothing at all.
Many families don't realise this — a yearly remembrance never requires a certificate, so it can be booked the moment you're ready.
Any one: death certificate, doctor's note, or cremation-ground certificate. Don't have one yet? Talk to the desk — usually a doctor's note lets it run.
No document needed — an in-memoriam or prayer-meeting ad can be placed freely.
Each has its own conventions and its own verse. Choose the one that fits — and note which ones need a document and which do not.
“With profound grief we announce the sad demise of [Name], on [date]. Funeral at [place & time]. Deeply mourned by the [family] family.”
“In loving memory of [Name], who left us [N] years ago today. Your absence is a silence we still feel, every single day.”
“The prayer meeting for the peace of the departed soul of [Name] will be held on [date] at [time], [venue].”
An ad in the right Chennai daily reaches the deceased's community, neighbours and old colleagues in their own language — the people who need to know about the funeral or the prayer meeting in time, and who still turn to the obituary page each morning.
How to place an obituary, remembrance or prayer-meeting ad in any Indian newspaper — what it costs, which paper to choose, the deadline for tomorrow's edition, and how releaseMyAd composes, translates and proofs it for you, free.
A newspaper ad is still how families inform their community of a passing, invite relatives to a prayer meeting, and remember a loved one on the anniversary of their death. A few dignified lines in the right paper reach the people who matter — in their own language, on the morning it needs to.
You do not need to know about column-centimetres or rate cards. Choose the newspaper and city, tell us the matter in any language, and we compose the wording, set the verse and the photograph, and show you a proof. You approve it before paying, and it publishes on the day that matters.
Indicative figures — finalised per newspaper and edition. Rates exclude GST.
“A missed date is not a delay — it is the whole purpose lost. The ad runs on the day that matters.
