Listings are provided by area funeral homes or are collected through publicly available sources.  Friends and family can leave their condolences, share a memory or even “light a candle” as part of their tribute.  Users can also set up email alerts to be automatically notified for death notices by location, family name,  school and military service.

Funeral Homes that are interested in joining Tributes.com’s network can learn more and sign up for a 30 day trial.

Users can also search Tributes.com’s national database to find obituary notices for people nationwide.

You may or may not know that our Community theme for 2009 is “Hoosiers Helping Hoosiers.”  We’re already engaged, but we need more help.

If you know of a need in our community where we can make a difference, please weigh in. If you know of a person or group MAKING a difference helping others, please weigh in.

We’ll have a lot more on this in the coming days, but I wanted to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help!

I guess there’s always one… but I’m encouraged about the others that outnumber that “one.”

Hopefully, his absence won’t leave a void. Hopefully, all his good works have been building blocks.

We’ll soon find out which it will be.

Feel free to share your thoughts, insight, and/or perscpectives from a community standpoint.

I’ll try to check in from time to time to see what’s going on.

Be safe!

It’s been awhile since we’ve been online and I’m happy to say that as part of our new website design,  we now have “blog-ability,” which is great!

As we head into this Thanksgiving Week and weekend, we’re reminded each day that there are others less fortunate who need help, so let’s all pitch in as a community and do what we can.

If you come across any special efforts or volunteer opportunities, please let us know!
