### Policies
#### Verification of Death
To publish an obituary, you must provide the name and phone number of the funeral home or cremation society handling arrangements. We will contact them to verify the death during their business hours.
If the deceased’s body was donated to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program or a similar program, their phone number is required for verification.
Alternatively, a death certificate can be used for verification.
Please allow extra time for verification, especially around weekends due to limited hours.
#### Guestbook and Outside Websites
We cannot reference guestbooks or obituaries appearing on other media outlets. However, we may publish a funeral home website or a family contact email. Please contact us for additional details.

**Please review the proof carefully.** Notify us of any changes or corrections before the notice appears in the Pioneer Press, according to each day’s deadlines.
We cannot make corrections after publication.
For online obituaries, changes can be handled through our obituary desk.
