Online obituaries for the Munich area

Hi, What newspapers post obituaries? My uncle, Alexander Bohner, passed February 3rd 2008. He lived in Munich. I cannot find it anywhere.

Hi Ted -
Sorry for your loss. Obits in Germany are not the same as in the US, it's generally a black-bordered, conservative notice in the regional newspapers. Get in touch with the newspapers' classified department - Familienanzeigen.

Merkur lists them on the web but he's not in there. If anything I would have thought it'd appear a few days after, not straight away.

Is that Bohner or Böhner? Spelling will make a difference.

I will be on the lookout in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in the next couple of days.

I don't think obituaries are automatic here, I believe they are akin to a "paid advert"...

The obit is in today's Süddeutsche Zeitung.

"Traueranzeige" is the German word the SZ uses.

Here's Alexander Bohner's entry.

Thank you all for helping me with this! My family thanks you as well!
