Looking to publish an online obituary to a local audience? Consider posting to The Washington Post. 

The Washington Post publishes news obituaries about people who had a major impact on the Washington region and beyond. They also write brief "of note" obits, about two paragraphs in length, for community members who have died. To be considered for an "of note" obituary, local residents must have lived here for at least 20 years and for more years than they lived elsewhere. A request for an obituary must be submitted within 30 days of the death.

They cannot guarantee publication, and do not include survivors, degrees earned or a photo with "of note" obituaries. They also do not include funeral, memorial or donation information.
