The Lawrence Times is offering Lawrence and Douglas County community members space to publish remembrances of loved ones who lived in this community, free of charge. These pieces are submitted by funeral directors or family and friends of the deceased and not written by our staff.

We are honored to be able to offer this service free to community members in mourning. We believe the last thing our neighbors need in those difficult moments is another financial matter to worry about.

Please consider supporting The Lawrence Times with a subscription to help us continue providing this service — and news access — for all.

To submit an obituary, please fill out this form. We’re sorry, but we cannot accept obituary submissions via email or other means.

Receive obituaries via email

As of May 2026, we are launching a newsletter that will include obituaries only. Obituaries will no longer appear in our daily emails. You can sign up below to receive any and all of our emails. If you already receive our daily, weekly and/or occasional emails and you want to keep receiving them, please check those boxes as well.

Please make sure you click on the button that says “Yes, subscribe me to this list” in the email you receive or you will not receive future emails. That extra step is to protect you and make sure you’re not getting emails you don’t want.

News obituaries

These articles were written, edited and/or reposted as news coverage of the deaths of influential community members.

If local news matters to you, please help us keep doing this work.
