### Policies:
**Verification of Death**
To publish an obituary, we require the name and phone number of the funeral home or cremation society handling the arrangements. We must be able to contact them during business hours to verify the death.
If the deceased’s body was donated to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program or a similar program, please provide their phone number for verification. Please allow sufficient time for this, especially as some programs have limited weekend hours.
Alternatively, a death certificate may be provided. Only one of these two options is necessary.
**Guestbook and Outside Websites**
We are not allowed to reference other media sources, guestbooks, or obituaries published elsewhere in print or online notices. We may include a funeral home website or a family email address for contact instead. Please contact us with any questions regarding this policy.

You must notify us of any errors or changes before the obituary runs — based on each day’s deadlines. We are not responsible for any errors after final proof approval.
