7. Do obituaries have to be published in a newspaper?
A. NO. there are no legal requirements that obituaries be placed in newspapers. In fact, there is no legal requirement that a person even have an obituary produced.
The custom of telling a deceased’s life story developed long before there were media other than newspapers and books. Since newspapers were the easiest and quickest way to celebrate a person’s life, obituaries were placed there.

Now there is the internet to help disseminate the information.

Because newspapers have lost significant circulation, the recommended way to present information about an upcoming funeral is to place a funeral notice in a memorial.co.ke, and link it to your favourite social network like Facebook or WhatsApp. By doing this it becomes more likely that friends and acquaintances will receive actual notice of the upcoming funeral.

8. Do You Sell Our Information to anyone?
A. No! We will Never sell your your information or use it for any purpose other than providing funeral information to our website visitors.
