The Washington Post welcomes suggestions for news obituaries, which are biographical articles written by reporters. We aim to provide readers a diverse selection of newsworthy stories about fascinating lives and of the widest possible appeal. We carefully review all requests, taking into consideration previous reporting on a subject and our own research. Unfortunately, we are not able to prepare a news obituary for all who request one. We will contact you if a reporter is assigned to the story.
To suggest a news obituary, please complete the form below or email us at newsobits@washpost.com.
If you would like to publish a paid death notice, which is a family-written eulogy or memorial and can include funeral or memorial information, please contact the advertising department by emailing deathnotices@washpost.com or calling (202) 334-4122.
