“With the rising costs of funeral arrangements and the decline of traditional print media, there is an ever growing demand for a free, online obituary service,” said Steven Arevalo, co-founder, OBITUARe.com. “My experience when publishing my grandfather’s obituary in the newspaper was an extremely difficult one.

It is more affordable,offering three days of publishing for free and more collaborative, allowing a community of users to share lasting memories through modern technology.”
