What is an RSS Feed?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds can include news, video and audio and it is a way for publishers to provide current content to busy subscribers. An RSS feed is a format to deliver updated and ever changing content to the end user based on their interests and preferences. It is a way to stay informed in a non-traditional way. You no longer have to track down the latest obituary from us, subscribing to our RSS means the information will come to you, nicely packaged and ready to read.

RSS Feeds are generally identified by this graphic. 
When you see this graphic on our site, it will link to our feed: https://www.lockefuneralhome.com/obituaries?format=feed. However, you only need to subscribe once to start receiving our latest obituaries via the RSS feed.
