On the scheduling page the most
current edition will be available for selection. Due to holidays, weather
events or other unforeseen circumstances that may change a deadline, we update
our deadlines in real time.
Obituaries and death notices
submitted by a licensed funeral home will appear online, before the print
publication, generally within one hour of approval and print in the edition
selected on the scheduling page.
Obituaries and death notices
not submitted by a licensed funeral home will require verification of death.
We will call to verify the passing with the contact you provide. The obituary
will not publish without the verification of death from the funeral home or
cremation society. If we are unable to verify the passing, we will contact you
to reschedule the obituary or death notice for another publication day.
Alternatively, you may email (email found on the Contact Us link) us a death
certificate. If the loved one passed internationally, please contact us for
further verification details.
If you are a licensed funeral
home and would like to be added to our deadline notification emails, please
send us an email with your contact information for inclusion.
Death Notices: The death notice is to provide a public
record which we consider an important community service. Information provided
for the death notice will publish in a directory format and is limited to name
of deceased, city or town of residence, age, date and month of death, service date
and time, service location, interment location and funeral home name. A fee of
$39.00 applies to death notices.
Obituary: The paid obituary is the family's tribute to their deceased loved one as well as a
notice of memorial service details. It provides a vehicle to share stories and
accomplishments of the deceased, major highlights, and family history. It may
be as detailed or as brief as desired. As you are entering your obituary text,
optional photo(s) and emblem(s) you will see the price
to the right of the obituary preview. The price will update in real time as you
enter or remove text, optional photo(s) and emblem(s).
Adding additional publication dates will alter the price on the scheduling
page. The price will update in real time as you add additional dates.
We reserve the right to
edit, refuse, reject, or cancel any obituary at any time.
