Improved death notices for friends and survivors

We've added Legacy.com to our online obituaries. It features daily searchable obits, with photos, video and audio.

If you sign up for "obit messenger" and register a keyword, it will notify you by e-mail if that keyword appears in any of more than 200 newspapers.

The most popular feature, I think, is the guest book, where you can write your own remembrances of the deceased. (At this writing, Coretta Scott King's guest book has 2,735 entries.) You can also put up a "moving tribute" with photos, audio and video.

In all, Kathy Lambeth, who is in charge of our online site, says its a better service across the board for our readers, promoting information and interactivity. I agree.
