Funeral notices: Looking for obituaries on STLtoday
I never ceases to amaze me, but I’m getting used to it: Obituaries are always, always among the most heavily read sections of a news web site. I won’t suggest that the obits and funeral notices on STLtoday approach the kind of traffic that, say, our Cardinals coverage gets.
But it’s a lot.
Finding them isn’t very hard. I don’t mean to sound like a broken record about the drop-down navigation on STLtoday. But the truth is, it really can be your friend if you warm up to it. And that’s the easiest way to get to the obits.
Recapping: Run your mouse over the navigation channels just under the STLtoday.com logo at the top of the page. If you’re over News, you’ll find all the news subsections and related content. Same with Business, Sports and whatnot.
Obits are under News. Click and go.
There’s also an “Obits” link in the footer on every page of the site — the big black box at the bottom of every page.
And to be perfectly clear: That link will actually take you to our paid funeral notices. To find any of the obituaries written in our newsroom, look for a link just below the list of death notices that says, “News obituaries from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Associated Press.”
Finally, if you’re really a nut about obituaries, you can subscribe to our RSS feeds with updates each day.
Kurt is the director of social media for the Post-Dispatch, where he has worked since August 2002. He's been a journalist since 1982, covering municipal government, courts, education and two hurricanes as a reporter before becoming an editor. 
That’s because everyone likes a good lie — and obituaries are the best at it.
