Funeral Home Backlink Assets

Short backlink copy for resources pages and footers

Use these short snippets when a funeral home wants a lighter-weight backlink placement than the full partner blog post.

Replace the placeholders, keep the wording local and factual, and point the link to the canonical OfficialObituary funeral home URL. After the page is live, send the published backlink URL to [email protected]. Listing edits and claim access stay with [email protected].

Before publishing

  • Replace every bracketed placeholder with the funeral home name and canonical OfficialObituary listing URL before publishing.
  • Use the full /funeral-homes/[state]/[city]/[slug]/ path so the link points to the right OfficialObituary funeral home page.
  • Keep the snippet in visible HTML body copy, a resource list, or a footer line where families can naturally find memorial links.
  • Do not hide, cloak, nofollow, shorten, or script-wrap the link.
  • If the OfficialObituary listing needs edits before publishing, route that to [email protected].

Canonical link guidance

Link to the canonical OfficialObituary funeral home URL, not a homepage, tracking redirect, or shortened link. The linked page should stay the single OfficialObituary obituary and memorial destination referenced from the partner site.

Recommended anchor copy: [Funeral Home Name] on OfficialObituary

Copy-ready short placements

Pick the version that matches the space available on the partner site. Replace the placeholders, keep the wording intact, and publish it as normal HTML.

Resources page paragraph

Where it fits: Use this near other public obituary, service-information, flower, or grief-support links.

Placement note: This is the best default when the partner wants one short sentence that still explains why the link helps families.

<p>
  Families can find recent obituary notices and memorial pages for [Funeral Home Name] on
  <a href="https://officialobituary.com/funeral-homes/[state]/[city]/[slug]/">OfficialObituary</a>,
  the canonical online location for current service details and memorial updates.
</p>

Resource list item

Where it fits: Use this inside a bulleted or linked resources list where the page mostly surfaces public memorial and planning links.

Placement note: Keep it as a normal list item with the same tone and sentence length as the rest of the page.

<li>
  Recent obituary notices and memorial pages:
  <a href="https://officialobituary.com/funeral-homes/[state]/[city]/[slug]/">
    [Funeral Home Name] on OfficialObituary
  </a>,
  the canonical online obituary listing for current updates.
</li>

Footer line

Where it fits: Use this in the obituary section footer or the main site footer when there is room for one visible memorial link.

Placement note: Keep it in normal footer text near other obituary or service links instead of shrinking it into fine print.

<p>
  Recent obituary and memorial updates:
  <a href="https://officialobituary.com/funeral-homes/[state]/[city]/[slug]/">
    [Funeral Home Name] on OfficialObituary
  </a>,
  the canonical online obituary page.
</p>

Need a longer page?

If the funeral home wants a fuller explanation on a news, blog, or long-form resources page, use the partner blog post template or the raw markdown version.

After publishing

After the snippet is live, send the published backlink URL to [email protected]. If the OfficialObituary listing needs edits or claim access first, use [email protected].
