Tribune Chronicle obituary policy

A free obituary, offered in unique cases for deceased residents of Trumbull County, lists general information, including birth date, parents, employment, survivors and services. Free obituaries also may include a photo of the deceased or flags for military veterans.

A paid, special notice is a more personal tribute and may include additional information about a loved one’s life.

The newspaper maintains the right to edit all obituaries for content or style and to withhold publication of photos due to poor quality or inappropriate content.

For information on conditions that will enable publication of a free obituary or for prices of special notices, speak to your funeral director or call the Tribune Chronicle obituary desk.

Forms or assistance in filling out an obituary form that may be obtained by coming to the Tribune Chronicle at 240 Franklin St. SE, Warren. All obituaries must be delivered in person or electronically by 4 p.m. to be included in the following day’s publication. Electronic submissions may be e-mailed to obits@tribtoday.com or delivered via the newspaper’s Virtual Newsroom at www.tribtoday.com. Click “submit news” and then choose “obituaries.”

Before publication, all deaths must be verified by a funeral home, crematorium, hospital or death certificate.

Photos submitted for publication with an obituary may be picked up at the Tribune Chronicle office up to one month after publication. Photos will be returned by mail if the submission is accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Photos not picked up after one month may be discarded.
