Obituary Submission

Obituary Guidelines

CIRI strives to print an obituary for all CIRI shareholders; obituaries may be published for CIRI descendants as space allows.
Only one obituary will be published for each deceased person. Once an obituary has been received, additional obituaries will not be accepted.
Although each obituary notice is unique, CIRI requires the general format to be the same, which achieves a presentation that is respectful to all families.
Due to space limitations, obituaries may not exceed 150 words.
CIRI reserves the right to edit obituaries for clarity, available space and news style.
We cannot guarantee placement in a particular edition.
Obituaries should be submitted within six months of the death.

Verify dates and spelling of all information provided.

You may submit an obituary either online or by mail (please do not submit both). Whether you choose online or mail, please verify dates and spelling of all information provided.
Type in upper and lower case. Please do not include words or names in all CAPS.
Once completed and verified, copy the text from your document and paste it into the appropriate fields on the online form.
Click the “Submit” button.
