### Policies:
#### Verification of Death
To publish obituaries, we require the name and phone number of the funeral home or cremation society handling the arrangements. We must contact them during business hours to verify the death.
If the deceased’s body has been donated to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program or a similar program, please provide their contact information for verification. Allow extra time for weekend hours as they are limited.
Alternatively, a death certificate can be submitted for verification. Only one of these verification methods is necessary.
#### Guestbook and Outside Websites
We do not allow references to other media sources containing guestbooks or obituaries placed elsewhere in print or online. Instead, we may include a website for the funeral home or a family email contact. Please contact us with questions regarding this policy.

### Obituary Process:
Once your submission is complete, we will send a proof via fax or email for your review before publication. The proof includes pricing and the scheduled publication dates.
Please review the proof carefully and notify us of any errors or changes before publication deadlines. Once the obituary runs in the Pioneer Press, we are not responsible for errors occurring after your final approval.
For changes to online obituaries, please contact the obituary desk directly.
