4\. Start filling in the next of kin's information and make sure to toggle the "Next of Kin" button on. After turning the toggle on, it will pull up more information for you to fill out.

5\. As you continue to scroll there will be the option to subscribe the email to the obituary and add them as a family editor on the obituary as well (these options are only applicable if you have entered in an email).
