Place an obituary

Obituaries from Houston County funeral homes are published free. Others are $50, photo included. Each obituary runs in print in The Houston County Herald and here online.

Through your funeral home

Most families place an obituary through their funeral director, who sends it to us directly. Just tell them you want it in The Houston County Herald.

On your own

Email the obituary and a photo to obits@mainstreetmediatn.com. Include the name of the funeral home handling arrangements and a phone number where we can reach you.

Print deadline

Friday at 9 a.m. for Tuesday's paper. Obituaries received after the deadline run in the following week's paper; they appear here online as soon as they are approved.
