About Writing an Obituary

  • The Post Bulletin now allows families to submit the obituary in paragraph form. The obituary will appear just as you write it.
  • We will place an obituary for you in local and/or out-of-town papers of your choosing.
  • Obituary charges vary greatly among papers and once the obituary is finalized we will be able to determine what each paper will charge you for running the obituary.
  • A copy of the final obituary will also appear, at no charge, on our website, www.mackenfuneralhome.com.
  • For families that choose our Simply Cremation Plan, the obituary and service information will not be published on our website because we will not be conducting or overseeing the service.
  • If you have any questions, please contact Macken Funeral Home at (507)282-1075
