[QUOTE="donna723, post: 285856, member: 1883"] I think it varies by area. When I worked for the large city newspaper they had Funeral Notices and then they had paid Obituaries. The Funeral Notices were not charged and were put in by the funeral homes, just a short few lines giving the names and times and places of services. If a family wanted a larger obituary or a picture, these were charged per line, but it was all handled by the funeral homes. In the little town where I live now the obituaries are run for free. The funeral home gets together with the family to get all the facts straight, then composes the obit and submits it to the little weekly county newspaper. It's strange here because most of the time, by the time the paper comes out, the funeral has already been held, but usually people already know via the grapevine. [/QUOTE]
