Submit obituaries to
[email protected] no later than 9 a.m. Wednesday for
publication in Wednesday’s newspaper. Obituaries must be paid in full
prior to publication for anyone who does not have a customer account with
the Sun-Times. If submission does not come directly from a funeral home, we
require either a certificate of death to accompany the submission or a
funeral home to contact for verification of the deceased. The pricing
structure works as follows:
First 10 column inches (about 350 words): $149
Every inch over standard 10 inches (about 35 words): $17 per inch
Accompanying photograph: $35
After submission, you will receive a proof and price for the obituary.
If prepayment is required, the obituary will not run if it remains unpaid.
* Please indicate that the obituary is for publication in the Sun-Times
** The deadline for submission in an issue during a holiday week may be
earlier. Please contact the newspaper directly if you are submitting an
obituary during a holiday week
