A: Any obituary or death notice
placed in our sister paper, The Times
Leader, with a reference to our com-

Media,
A: Our parent company, Civitas
is standardizing obituaries
across our sister newspapers. This will
allow our team to handle obituaries in
a standard way for all of our commu-
nity newspapers.
Q: If an obituary ran in The Times
Leader, will it appear in this news-

A: No. Our team will automatically
place a free death notice in our paper
if a Times Leader obituary contains a

make arrangements with us to be billed
separately for each publication.
Q: Can I still drop off obituaries at
your local office?
A: The same verification system
remains in effect. We'll need verifica-

nothing changes. You can still work
with us at our local office. The back-
office work — including the billing —
will be done at our sister newspaper in
