Which obituary are we designing?Required
Copies come in sets of 50: 50, 100, 150 and so on.
No rush fee. We confirm your timeline with you after your order is received.

Same-day printing available on eligible orders placed by 11 AM ET, subject to proof approval and production availability. Call (313) 685-1887

How rush timing works
  • The rush time starts when your order is placed.
  • A rush is for your proof: we send your proof within the rush time you choose.
  • Weekends pause the rush time: Saturday and Sunday don’t count, and it continues on Monday.
  • You can order a rush on a weekend: the rush time starts on Monday.
  • Same-day rush ordered by 11:00 AM Detroit time on a weekday means your proof that day. Ordered after 11:00 AM, or on a weekend, your proof comes the next weekday — for example, Friday afternoon or Saturday means Monday.
  • Rush isn’t available when it would need a day we are closed. Only one rush option applies to an order.

Same-day printing and proof

  • Same-day printing: eligible orders placed by 11:00 AM Eastern Time (Detroit time) on a weekday, subject to proof approval and production availability.
  • Same-day proof: a same-day rush ordered by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on a weekday means your proof that day.
  • We print only after you approve your proof. While photos, details, payment or your approval are still outstanding, same-day printing can’t be guaranteed.
  • Same-day printing does not mean same-day delivery or shipping. We confirm delivery or shipping timing with you.
  • Eligible: obituary programs, print-only obituary printing and memorial keepsake cards (printed on 80lb cover stock with no gloss). Not offered on memorial coloring books, welcome signs or other memorial products.
Paper
The cardstock upgrade applies to the cover only. Interior pages remain on standard 100lb gloss paper. The upgrade is $0.50 per copy—for example, 50 copies add $25.

Questions families ask

How do I place an order?

Choose your page count and how many copies you need above, then select “Start your details” to share your loved one’s information and photos. When your details are saved, add the obituary to your cart, choose local delivery or shipping, and pay in full at checkout.

Our designers then prepare your proof.

What information and photographs are needed?

To begin we need your contact details and your loved one’s name. The form then asks for the cover and service details, the obituary wording and order of service, photos and tributes, the back page and any design preferences — you can save and come back.

Photos can be JPEG, PNG or WebP images.

Can I approve the design before printing?

Yes. We send you a proof to review, signed in with the email on your order. You can ask for changes or approve it, and nothing is printed until you approve.

How many photographs can I include?

It depends on the package you choose: 4 pages — 6 photos or 1 family tribute; 8 pages — 25 photos and 6 family tributes; 12 pages — 50 photos and 8 family tributes; 16 pages — 75 photos and 10 family tributes; 20 pages — 100 photos and 12 family tributes; 24 pages — 125 photos and 14 family tributes.

How quickly can my obituary be printed?

With standard turnaround there is no rush fee, and we confirm your timeline with you after your order is received.

To get your design proof sooner, choose a rush at checkout — 48-hour rush (+$50), 24-hour rush (+$75) or same-day rush (+$150), one per order. A rush sets when your proof arrives; printing begins once you approve it.

Do you offer same-day printing?

Same-day printing available on eligible orders placed by 11 AM ET, subject to proof approval and production availability.

We print only after you approve your proof, so same-day printing can’t be guaranteed while photos, details, payment or your approval are still outstanding. It is not same-day delivery or shipping.

Same-day printing is offered on obituary programs and print-only printing. Memorial coloring books aren’t eligible, although their $150 same-day design proof is still available.

Can I order additional copies?

Yes. Copies come in sets of 50 — 50, 100, 150 and so on — and the price above updates as you change the quantity.

For a larger run, or if you need more copies after you have ordered, call or email us.

Do you offer local delivery and nationwide shipping?

Yes. Local delivery is $14 per order, and we ship within the United States for $15 per order. You choose one at checkout, once per order; pickup isn’t offered.

We confirm delivery or shipping timing with you. Same-day printing is never same-day delivery or shipping.

What happens if I need revisions?

Proof revisions are included at no additional charge. Ask for changes on your proof and we send you a new version to review — nothing is printed until you approve.

Please check every name, date and word before you approve: once the final proof is approved, any further change is reviewed by our team.
