To place an obit in The Freeman, the charge is $50/day and it must be paid before it runs in the newspaper. Either you could drop a check or cash off at the office or we can take a credit card over the phone. We need the name that appears on the card, your credit card number, the expiration date and the security code on the back.

As far as length goes, the only restriction is that it must be less than a full newspaper column, or the charge increases to $75. You can include any information you would like...
memberships, affiliations, education, careers, surviving and predeceased family members, hobbies and whatever else. A photo and/or icon (flag, rose, cross, Star of David or just about anything else you can think of) can be included as well at no extra charge.

We need to have the obituary by 8 p.m. the day before you would like it to run in the paper and would prefer to receive it by e-mail to obits@conleynet.com, but we can also accept fax submissions at (262) 542-8259.

For formatting purposes, we request that the deceased's date of birth, date of death and place of residence be included.
