How to Share a Life Story in the Pioneer Press

The Pioneer Press offers a way to honor loved ones who have passed away. To do this, you need to send an email with specific details. This includes your name, address, phone number, and the details of the person who died. You can also add a photo if you want. The newspaper needs to check that the person has really passed away. They do this by calling the funeral home or cremation society. If the body was donated to science, they need that number instead. A death certificate works too, but you only need one of these. Once they have your information, they will send you a proof to check before it goes to print. Make sure to look it over carefully. After it's published, they won't fix any mistakes. If you need to change the online version, just give them a call. The cost starts at $162 for the first 12 lines. Each extra line is $12. If your obituary is longer than 40 lines, you get a discount. Photos cost $125 each per day. There are also discounts for running the obituary on multiple days. If you want to remember someone who passed away but don't want a full obituary, you can submit a memoriam. The rates are different, so you'll need to call or email for more information. Remember, the deadline is important. Make sure to submit everything on time so your loved one's story is shared when you want it to be.
