Obituary price change
Effective May 1, the base price of obituaries in the Observer-Reporter will increase. Obituaries of up to 200 words will cost $125, an increase of $10. The new flat fee includes a thumbnail photo of the deceased. No discount will be applied for obituaries that do not include a photo.
The rest of the pricing structure remains the same: Obituaries of up to 35 words will be printed free of charge; over 200 words, 25 cents per word; symbols, $7.50 each. Estimates will be provided for photos larger than thumbnails.
If an obituary is published more than once, the fee will be charged for each day published.
