### Submission Process

1. **Send an Email:**
Email all the information above to:
**[email protected]**

2. **Proof and Review:**
Once your submission is received, we will email or fax you a proof of your obituary for your review prior to publication. This proof will include pricing and the dates the notice is scheduled to appear.
Be sure to review the proof carefully and notify us of any changes or corrections before publication. We are not responsible for errors after final approval.

### Verification of Death

In order to publish any obituary, you must provide:
– The name and phone number of the funeral home or cremation society handling the arrangements

We will contact the funeral home or cremation society during their business hours to verify the death. If the deceased has been donated to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program, or a similar organization, their phone number is required.

Alternatively, a death certificate may be submitted for verification. Only **one** of these two options is necessary. Please allow extra time for verification, especially on weekends.

### Guestbook and Outside Websites

We do not allow references to other media sources, guestbooks, or obituaries published elsewhere in print or online notices.
However, we may include the website of a funeral home or a family email address for contact. Please reach out with questions about this policy.
