OBITUARIES: The Courier-Record does not charge for Obituaries, so long as they conform to this newspaper's policies. Free obituaries contain names of the deceased, immediate survivors, when and where services were/will be held, and place of burial.

   Such notices may also include church membership, military service, and club affiliations.

   Families that would like to include the names of grandchildren, spouses of brothers and sisters ("in-laws"), "special friends," and other information or comments about the deceased, may do so by informing your funeral home, which will be billed at the rate of 25 cents per word for the entire obituary. 

   Paid obituaries cannot be charged to individuals unless they have an established account with this newspaper.

   We will not bill anyone other than an established funeral home, unless they are willing to let us charge their credit card.

   If the obituary also includes a "headshot" photo (2 inches wide and about 3
inches tall), there will be an additional charge of $15.
