All obituaries now include a 30-day listing at gazette.com. You can view the obituary, enter condolences and memories in a free guestbook, and see additional options that can be purchased such as extended time online.

The deadline is 3 p.m. for the next day's publication. Deadline for Sunday and Monday publication is noon Saturday.

There is no format to follow or form to fill out. Simply state what you would like to say for the obituary or memorial tribute.

All life tributes are pre-paid. We do not send bills for these notices. We accept all major credit cards, checks, and cash. You may place your ad in one of the following ways:
