Difference Between Editorial and Paid Obituaries
Paid Obituaries are the primary way families share their loved one's story and inform the community of services for their loved one. A paid obituary or death notice is a personal announcement submitted by the family or funeral home, and its publication is guaranteed upon payment. It is essential for providing details about the life lived, survivors, and the specific time, date, and location of any memorial or funeral services. Since many older family members and community members still rely on the physical newspaper, placing a paid notice is an important part of reaching everyone who needs to be informed.
Editorial Obituaries are a news article written by the newspaper's staff to commemorate an individual who made a significant public impact (e.g., a major politician, artist, or community figure). This type of publication is not guaranteed and is determined entirely by the newspaper's editorial discretion and its news judgment.
If you need assistance placing a paid obituary or death notice to share your loved one's arrangements, we are here to help. You can reach us by emailing [email protected] or by calling us at (888) 823-8554.

What are common obituary mistakes to avoid?
The obituary experts advise avoiding these common errors to ensure the notice is respectful, accurate, and helpful: Failing to Verify Facts: The most critical step. Always double-check names, dates, locations (especially military service or educational institutions), and the spelling of surviving family members. Inaccurate details can be stressful for readers and require corrections. Including Excessive or Unnecessary Detail: Keep it focused on the deceased's life story, major achievements, and family. Legacy.com often suggests reserving lengthy personal anecdotes or detailed life timelines for a private memorial service or online guest book. Omitting Service Information: While the obituary primarily celebrates a life, its practical purpose is to inform friends and community about the funeral, memorial, or wake. Make sure to include the date, time, and location of all services, or clearly state that services will be private. Excluding Donation/Gifts Information: If the family requests donations to a charity (in lieu of flowers), the name of the organization and the correct mailing address or website link must be included and verified.
