Obituary Submission Guidelines

Obituary Information

Anchorage Daily News does not accept obituaries in-person, and only accepts credit or debit card payment at this time.

The best way to submit an obituary is through our online submission form, or by email to obituary@adn.com.

If a funeral home is involved, we recommend the obituary must be submitted via the funeral home. Verification of death is required for any submission, by way of contact information of a funeral home, crematorium or coroner’s office, or with an emailed copy of a death certificate.


Anchorage Daily News offers the following flat-rate obituary package:

Eighty lines for a flat rate of $190, with $12 per each additional line and $20 to include a black and white photo as well as $5 to include an icon, for one day in the print newspaper, online at adn.com, on a Lasting Memories memorial webpage and mention in a quarterly Tributes publication.

Details: Eighty lines equates to approximately 300 words; a line can range from approximately 3-6 words. Photos that are submitted in color will publish in b & w in print and in color online.

The option to publish obituaries for additional dates is available on the online submission form. The pricing for multiple publications is determined as full price for the first date and half-price for each additional date.
