The Cost of Remembering: A Look at Obituary Pricing and Policies

When someone passes away, families often want to honor their memory with an obituary. But did you know there's a lot to consider, like costs and rules? Let's break it down. First, you need to provide some basic info. This includes the full name, address, and phone number of the person submitting the obituary. You also need details about the deceased and the obituary text. If you want a photo, it should be in JPEG or PDF format. Now, let's talk money. The minimum charge is $162 for the first 12 lines. After that, each additional line costs $12. If your obituary is longer than 40 lines, you get a 7. 5% discount per line. There are also discounts for running the obituary on multiple days or placing multiple obituaries.But before your obituary goes to print, you'll receive a proof. It's important to review this carefully because once it's published, any errors can't be fixed. If you need to make changes to the online version, you can contact the obituary desk. Remember, obituaries are different from memorials. Memorials are more like remembrances and have different rates. If you're unsure about anything, it's always a good idea to ask questions.
