Obituaries Now Available
At The Beacon, we believe in the power of stories to connect, comfort, and preserve what matters most—people. When a loved one passes, their story deserves to be remembered, shared, and honored. That’s why we offer a free obituary service for anyone with ties to Jefferson County.
Whether your loved one lived here, attended school in the area, or has family who still calls this place home, we welcome you to share their story with our community.
Publishing an obituary on The Beacon is simple, heartfelt, and always free. We accept submissions from family members or funeral homes and aim to post them promptly—often the same day. Obituaries can include meaningful details such as birth and death dates, names of family, education, military service, hobbies, and information about memorials or celebrations of life.
We understand how important these tributes are, and we treat each with care and respect. Our goal is to offer a space where neighbors can pause, remember, and celebrate those who shaped our lives.
If you’d like to submit an obituary, fill out the form on our page. Or if you have questions about the process, please reach out to us at info@jeffcobeacon.org.
