Widget settings

Use your OfficialObituary listing URL or listing slug. The embed is always tied to your funeral home context.

Prefilled for Bachman Hebble Funeral Service. You can still replace the listing URL below.

Use your public OfficialObituary funeral home profile, not your funeral home website URL.

Enter your OfficialObituary listing to generate the widget.

Copy-paste embed code

Place this snippet where you want the widget to appear on your existing website.

Live preview

Preview the widget exactly as partners will see it after the embed code loads.

Enter your listing URL and generate the widget to preview the obituary feed.

Installation checklist

Follow these steps in order so your report and widget setup stay in sync. Need the full install, sizing, and troubleshooting guide? Read the widget install docs.

  1. Generate the embed code from your OfficialObituary listing.
  2. Install it on your existing website and keep the OfficialObituary attribution link visible.
  3. Open the final public page in a clean browser tab and capture one screenshot with the widget, page heading, and OfficialObituary attribution visible together.
  4. Use your claim link to save that live page URL and the 5 nearby funeral homes you chose. If you need the claim link resent, email [email protected].

Copy-paste proof steps

Use the same simple proof package every time. The goal is one public URL, one visible placement, and one saved record through your claim link.

Step 1

Open the final public URL

Use the published page URL that any visitor can open, not a CMS preview, staging link, or editor address.

What to save: Save the exact live page URL where the widget or backlink appears.

Step 2

Capture the placement in context

Take a screenshot that shows the widget or backlink plus enough surrounding page copy that someone can tell where it lives on the site.

What to save: Include the page heading or section label in the same screenshot whenever possible.

Step 3

Confirm the HTML survived publish

Use View Source or Inspect to confirm the OfficialObituary anchor is still present as normal HTML. Widget installs should also keep the embed.js script tag.

What to save: Save a short source snippet or note showing the visible OfficialObituary link and, for widgets, the script source.

Step 4

Save the proof through the claim link

Paste the same live URL into the form on your claim link and include the five nearby funeral homes you chose, so our team can verify the install in one step.

What to save: One saved record should contain the live link URL and all five funeral homes you chose to compare.

Worked widget proof example

Use this as the benchmark for what a clean widget-install proof package looks like.

Example live URL: https://www.harborlightfuneralhome.com/obituaries

What counts: The public obituary page loads the widget, shows at least one obituary card, and keeps the OfficialObituary attribution link visible beneath the cards.

Screenshot should show: The screenshot shows the page heading, the Recent obituaries widget heading, one obituary card, and the OfficialObituary attribution link in the same frame.

Save on the claim link: Save https://www.harborlightfuneralhome.com/obituaries through your claim link as the live URL tied to the widget install.
