Our Obituary Policy:
Great Falls Gazette encourages obituary submissions. Beginning January 1, 2024, we are implementing a new policy regarding Obituary Submissions. Obituaries may be submitted by Funeral Homes, Funeral Directors/Faith leaders, family, or friends. Here are a few guidelines about submitting an Obituary.
- Submission size: We allow submissions of any size. Note, large obituaries may be on multiple pages.
- Try to send the highest DPI picture you can. If you need help, reach out. When we print a digital picture, low-DPI pictures are often fuzzy or pixelated. If you post multiple pictures, please list which one you want to be the “featured” picture. Only the featured pictures will be guaranteed to print. Others may be included as space allows.
- Generally, we’d prefer obituaries from the family, then the funeral home or church, and finally, friends.
- While we appreciate humor, this likely isn’t the place for it. Please think long and hard about putting the wrong humor in an Obituary. If unsure, consult a funeral director/pastor/faith leader before submitting an obituary. Generally, we’ll refuse obituaries that are in poor taste.
- If a family member wishes to submit an obituary, we recommend working with the person handling the arrangements. We work with Funeral Homes and churches all the time. This can take a large burden off your back. If you are set on submitting it yourself, please complete the form completely or call us, and we can help.
- There is a section on the form that deals with proofreading and editing. We are happy to proofread your submission (for grammar and basic spelling). However, if you choose this option, you must approve any changes we make before it can be published. You want to do this as soon as possible so we don’t hold your obituary up unnecessarily.
- All obituaries must be submitted and edits approved by Saturday at 5pm for inclusion in Tuesdays paper; Tuesday at 5pm for inclusion in Thursday’s paper; Friday at 5pm for Sunday’s paper.
- If a service is scheduled, please include this with your submission. Because of space limitations, we must sometimes push an obit to a later date, but we prioritize getting them in before the service when we can.
- We do not charge for a single obituary. However, if you wish to have your obit run extra days, we charge $10 per additional issue.
NOTE: Due to a software error, this form is not available, we’re working to get it back up and running, and apologize for the inconvenience. Please email info@gfgazette.com to submit your information.
