who can write an obituary in the palm beach post

In the Palm Beach Post, an obituary can be written by the family, a funeral home, or another representative handling the arrangements. The paper’s obituary page says the submitter is responsible for the content, and Legacy’s obituary guidance says funeral directors often gather the details, write the obituary, and submit it for approval and publication.

What that means

• A family member can draft it.
• A funeral home can draft and submit it.
• A person authorized by the family can also handle it.
• The newspaper itself is not responsible for screening or verifying the submitted text.

Practical submission note

Legacy’s Palm Beach Post guidance says they can help place the obituary, provide a proof, and give a price quote, which suggests the submission process is usually handled through the paper’s obituary service rather than by the newsroom directly.
