I'm a funeral director. How do I register for an account?

Firstly, go to www.column.us/register in your web browser. Note that if you have a Google or Microsoft account, you may also register and sign in using those credentials at www.column.us/login.

Fill out the required account information including name, email, and password. Then, click the blue ‘Create Account’ button.

Choose the role that best describes you.

To ensure you register your Column account with proper access, please select Funeral Director. You can continue on to entering your account information. You will be prompted to create or join an organization.

By creating or joining an organization in Column, you will be able to collaborate with your coworkers in Column without having to share a username/password. When members of the same organization, coworkers can access all of the notices placed by any fellow member of the organization. Consequently, they can also access obituary documents such as invoices.

You can search through existing organizations in Column to see if someone from your organization has already registered with Column. If you find your organization, you can request to join it —you can click here to check out more information on this process. 

If you are the first of your coworkers to use Column, you can create a new organization — we have a helpful guide with further context here.

Once you complete registration and login, you’re ready to submit an obituary.
