 Remember:
Please feel free to ask us to help you compose a meaningful
and personalized obituary. Or, we can also review or proofread
your draft before you submit it to the newspaper. There are
no charges for these services. Obituary notices are very personal
and special records. This guide is only a suggestion on how
to compose an obituary notice. There is no legal requirement
as to the format or even the submission of an obituary notice.
We feel that giving families the opportunity to create their
own notice can be beneficial in the grieving process. We wish
to let families know that we can assist in composing the notice
- in whole or in part - we are always willing to help. Please
