We're always working to improve your experience.Let us know what you think.
Placing an obituary in The Burlington Free Press starts at $50.00. Package prices can vary depending on the edition of the paper (weekday, weekend, or Sunday editions) and other factors such as the length of the obituary.
You can use an abbreviated version for newspapers to limit costs and place a full obituary online for free. Just remember that these are words that will live on past you, so think carefully about survivors. Make sure to be thorough, and don't be shy about letting your loved one's personality shine through.
Why does it cost so much to post an obituary? Publishing an obituary in the newspaper is expensive because of the limited space papers have. Newspapers value every inch of each page, so they must charge to use that limited space for an obituary.
Newspapers charge by the line and can average $450 for a complete obituary. The average obituary cost begins at $200.00 and increases due to the amount of content, including a photograph and the length of the obituary.
Most newspapers will have links on their websites directing people to submit a paid death notice, usually under the heading “Obituaries” or “Obits.” While some newspapers manage their own obituary submission and management processes, many newspapers work with the obituary and death notice website Legacy.com.
It remains online on the newspaper's website for a longer time than it runs in print. In some cases, it's online permanently. Many newspapers charge by the line or inch for obituaries, not by the word. This means how much physical space the text will take up in the printed newspaper.
But, chances are, if you're considered the scribe in your tribe of family members and friends, at some juncture, you'll be asked to pen an obituary for someone you know. And, though it doesn't offer the same glitz, glamour, or excitement of other forms of creative work, well, it helps to pay the bills.
Introduction: My name is Arline Emard IV, I am a cheerful, gorgeous, colorful, joyous, excited, super, inquisitive person who loves writing and wants to share my knowledge and understanding with you.
