Obituary Central is our free WordPress Plugin that lets local newspapers take control of their obituaries and earn money from each obituary that is added. Set the price you want to be paid for your obituary and have your visitors enter and pay for the obituary. Obituaries come to you for easy approval and you create an important and significant revenue stream for your online newspaper.
Contact us if you want to install Obituary Central and earn money from obituaries.
Members of your community enter and pay for the obituary. The person entering the obituary can be a family member of the deceased or a representative of the funeral home wanting to announce the passing.
You set the price of the obituary and we add our $10 fee per obituary. For example, let's say you set your price obitaury at $50. The plugin adds the $10 charge for FHW Solutions and your visitor will be paying a total of $60 to add an obituary.
Our price is fixed at $10 per obituary regardless of how you set your price.
The Obituary Central plugin is absolutely free to your newspaper. It creates a revenue stream for you and provides a valuable service to your community.
You are free to charge what is appropriate for your market. Print newspapers charge over $100 to add on obituary. We suggest something in the range of $50 to $150, but again, you are free to determine what is appropriate for your market.
We collect the money when it is paid by the person adding the obitaury. We pay your newspaper on the first of the month for prior month's obitaury sales.
We pay by check but can also pay by ACH transfer to funeral homes in the United States or Canada. International funeral homes can choose to be paid by PayPal.
Yes. The obituary plugin is free. The adminstrartor can also add 5 obituaries for free to see how things work and to get a feel for it. After that, the price per obituary set inside the plugin needs to be paid by your visitors to add obituaries.
Obituaries are paid for in $US currency. Whatever country you are in, your visitors credit cards will automatically be charged in $US.
We are working on supporting different currencies.
Obitaury Central was designed with newspapers in mind but it can be used by any website that wants to charge their visitors for announding the passing of a loved one.
