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.

Basic Information

First, you need to provide some basic info:

• Full name, address, and phone number of the person submitting the obituary.
• Details about the deceased.
• The obituary text.
• If you want a photo, it should be in JPEG or PDF format.

Costs

Now, let's talk money:

• Minimum charge: $162 for the first 12 lines.
• Additional lines: $12 each.
• Discounts:
• 7.5% discount per line if the obituary is longer than 40 lines.
• Discounts for running the obituary on multiple days or placing multiple obituaries.

Proofreading

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.

Obituaries vs. Memorials

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.
