Then someone tells you the death notice has to go in the paper \u2014 and you have no idea where to start.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          I've helped families place obituary ads across Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, and smaller editions in between. The process isn't complicated. But there are a few things that trip people up every single time \u2014 wrong ad type, missed deadlines, photos that don't meet specs. This guide covers the whole thing.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/section>\r\n\r\n      <!-- STEP 1 -->\r\n      <section id=\"step1\" class=\"mt-10\">\r\n        <h2 class=\"text-xl font-semibold mb-3 text-gray-900\">Step 1 \u2014 Choosing the Right Ad Type Before Anything Else<\/h2>\r\n\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          Actually, this step belongs before you even think about content. Get this wrong and you're redoing the whole thing.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-3\">TOI offers two formats for obituaries:<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h3 class=\"text-base font-semibold text-gray-800 mb-1\">Classified Text<\/h3>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          Words only. Charged per line or per word depending on the edition. Works fine for a straightforward announcement with name, date, and family details. Most families use this.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h3 class=\"text-base font-semibold text-gray-800 mb-1\">Display (with Photo)<\/h3>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          A boxed ad with a photo and designed layout. More expensive. But if the family wants a specific look, a portrait, or a tribute layout \u2014 this is the only option.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"bg-gray-50 border-l-4 border-[#BB2D29] p-4 rounded mb-4\">\r\n          <p class=\"text-gray-700 text-sm leading-relaxed\">\r\n            For a simple death announcement, classified is enough. Families sometimes choose display because they feel it's more respectful \u2014 that's a personal call. But if budget matters, classified does the job. Also note: TOI has dozens of regional editions. Rates differ per edition. Don't assume the Delhi rate applies to Mumbai.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/section>\r\n\r\n      <!-- STEP 2 -->\r\n      <section id=\"step2\" class=\"mt-10\">\r\n        <h2 class=\"text-xl font-semibold mb-3 text-gray-900\">Step 2 \u2014 Content Preparation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">Short version: write the ad before you open any booking portal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <ul class=\"list-disc pl-6 text-gray-700 space-y-2 mb-6\">\r\n          <li>Full name of the deceased<\/li>\r\n          <li>Date of passing (sometimes date of birth too)<\/li>\r\n          <li>Survived by \u2014 spouse, children, siblings, as the family wishes to mention<\/li>\r\n          <li>Funeral\/prayer meeting details if being announced<\/li>\r\n          <li>Contact details (optional \u2014 some families include, some don't)<\/li>\r\n        <\/ul>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"bg-gray-50 border-l-4 border-[#BB2D29] p-4 rounded mb-4\">\r\n          <p class=\"text-gray-700 text-sm leading-relaxed\">\r\n            <strong>Display ad photo specs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/the-times-of-india.shtml\">TOI obituary booking <\/a>with photo requires JPEG format, minimum 200 DPI.

Useful if you want someone to handle the layout for a display ad, or if you're booking across multiple papers at once.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h3 class=\"text-base font-semibold text-gray-800 mb-1\">Option C \u2014 Walk into the TOI Office<\/h3>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          Slower, obviously. But some families prefer face-to-face, especially older family members handling the process. The TOI branch offices in Mumbai and Hyderabad both have counter staff for this.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"bg-gray-50 border-l-4 border-[#BB2D29] p-4 rounded mb-4\">\r\n          <p class=\"text-gray-700 text-sm leading-relaxed\">\r\n            For placing an ad quickly during the mourning period \u2014 the online portal is the fastest.

For classified, some editions send confirmation, some don't.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-4\">\r\n          If you booked through a third-party platform, they typically send you the published scan.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"bg-gray-50 border-l-4 border-[#BB2D29] p-4 rounded mb-4\">\r\n          <p class=\"text-gray-700 text-sm leading-relaxed\">\r\n            <strong>Keep this.<\/strong> For legal or estate purposes, families sometimes need proof of the death announcement.

File size limit is usually 5 MB. If you've had a designer create the ad, export it as a high-resolution PDF and upload directly. The portal preview shows how it'll print. If you don't have a design, TOI's portal has basic templates. Third-party booking platforms like releaseMyAd have more layout options and can design it for you at a small extra cost.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n          <div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" class=\"border p-4 rounded\">\r\n            <h3 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"font-semibold text-gray-800\">8.

Third-party platforms accept the same. Some branch offices still take demand drafts, but don't count on it if you're in a hurry. No cash payments online.

Save the payment receipt. Note the publication date. On the day it runs, check the paper or ask someone to check if you can't. For display ads, request the tear sheet \u2014 TOI provides it for record purposes. After publication, some families also post the same notice on social media or share the scanned ad through WhatsApp. One last thing: if the death is being announced across multiple cities, book each edition separately. TOI editions don't automatically cross-publish. Multiple cities means multiple bookings.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents \u279c Introduction \u279c Step 1 \u2014 Choosing the Right Ad Type \u279c Step 2 \u2014 Content Preparation \u279c Step 3 \u2014 Booking Channels \u279c Step 4 \u2014 Approval and Proofing \u279c Step 5 \u2014 Publication Confirmation \u279c&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,4,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-marketing-agency","category-media","category-media-buying-agency"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6051"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6146,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6051\/revisions\/6146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riyoadvertising.com\/current-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
