Quiet, clear guidance

Obituary & remembrance — guide and FAQ

Plain, respectful answers — what it costs, which paper to choose, the deadline for tomorrow’s edition, the documents (and when none are needed), and how we compose, translate and proof it for you.

2 We compose it & show a free proof
3 Approve, pay, and it runs on the day
What you need to provide

Documents — and what to do if you don’t have one

Newspapers ask for proof on a fresh obituary to prevent hoax ads. We accept the common alternatives, and a remembrance needs nothing at all.

Fresh obituary
Any one of these is accepted as proof:
Death certificate (BMC / municipal)
Doctor's note or hospital letter
Cremation-ground / burial certificate
Certificate delayed or unavailable? It often is. Talk to the desk — in most cases a doctor’s note or cremation-ground slip lets the ad run on time.
Remembrance, anniversary, prayer meeting
No document needed
An in-memoriam, death-anniversary, birth-centenary or prayer-meeting ad can be placed freely — just send the wording and photograph.
Many families don’t realise this — a yearly remembrance never requires a certificate, so it can be booked the moment you’re ready.
Four kinds of obituary ad

Whatever you need to say, set with care

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.

What families ask when placing a notice

Metro editions typically draw strong responses within 1–2 weeks. A display classified with photo gets roughly 3× the response of a text-only ad. Multi-edition bundles significantly expand reach.
For broad reach, multi-edition packages offer up to 90% savings versus booking cities individually. Bundle discounts apply automatically: 5% off 3+ editions, 10% off 5+, 15% off 8+.
your chosen paper reaches millions of daily readers across major cities. For obituary classifieds, the dedicated section ensures your ad is seen by readers actively looking in that category.
Rates reflect each edition's circulation and readership. High-circulation metros (Mumbai, Delhi) command premium rates because your ad reaches more readers. Smaller editions offer cost-effective reach.
Pre-built bundles save the most. Choose from National Selection (all editions), or smaller regional packages. Bundle discounts stack automatically at checkout — no coupon needed.
GST at 5% is the only addition. Enhancements like bold, border and tick mark are priced separately and shown live in the composer before you pay.
Classified text ads are priced per line (typically 5 lines minimum). Each additional line is charged at the per-line rate shown in the table. Display classifieds are priced by area (sq.cm).
Yes — for Classified Display ads, photos and logos are supported. Upload a JPG or PNG in the composer. Photo classifieds get significantly higher response rates than text-only.
Tick mark, border, bold text and background tint are available as add-ons. Each is priced live in the composer — you see the total update before you confirm.
Weekday classifieds require booking by 6 PM the previous day. Sunday editions close Friday 6 PM. The booking calendar shows available dates and highlights deadlines.
SMS confirmation is sent after the ad is processed. A tearsheet PDF (the actual page your ad appeared in) is emailed within 48 hours of publication.
Changes and cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the release date. Refunds are processed within 7 working days. Rescheduling to a later date is available at no extra charge.

Obituary & remembrance ads

Obituary & remembrance ads, how a newspaper ad works.

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.

A missed date is not a delay — it is the whole purpose lost. The ad runs on the day that matters.
