Obituary Form

The North County Times offers two types of death notices: Paid Memorials and Non-Paid Obituary Notices. (We also offer paid In Memoriam notices and paid Thanks notices -- click here for more information on those.) The basic differences between Paid Memorials and Non-Paid Obituary Notices are:

Non-Paid Obituaries: The information is a news story and is edited to the North County Times' style and format. These notices can include church/club affiliations, education, military service and major contributions of the deceased; names of surviving children's spouses, and number of grandchildren/great-grandchildren. It can also include a photo.

Paid Memorials: These notices can be written in your own words, and may include terms such as "loving," beloved," "gone to be with the Lord" or other terms that are not "news" style. You may also include a picture in the Paid Memorials. The cost of the Paid Memorials is $50 for up to 25 lines and $1.50 per line over 25. Pictures count as 13 lines of text.

* For placement on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, information must be received by noon Friday.
