There is no charge for a standard obituary, which is the name, age, date of death, place of residence, time and place of services. The name of the funeral home and city will also be included. On an expanded or extended obituary, there will be a charge. We accept obituaries only from the funeral home in charge of arrangements.

If family members wish an expanded or extended obituary, with photo, the minimum charge will be $50, which includes name, age, date of death, place of birth, where lived, place and time of services, plus, immediate family survivors (spouse, children, brothers and sisters, number of grandchildren ). We will be happy to publish whatever the family desires. The total charge will be based on a more extended obituary and the entire length of the notice. For more information, please consult with your funeral director for assistance with completing an obituary.

The deadline for placing an obituary in the next edition will be noon Monday, prior to publication.. If we can be of assistance, please call 229-758-5549 or e-mail or FAX 229-758-5540.
