The Asheville Citizen Times is not responsible for screening, editing or verifying obituary content submitted. The submitter is solely responsible for all such content.
FAQ. How much does an obituary in The Asheville Citizen-Times cost? Placing an obituary in The Asheville Citizen-Times starts at $172.00. Package prices can vary depending on the edition of the paper (weekday, weekend, or Sunday editions) and other factors such as the length of the obituary.
Legally, it is not a requirement to have an obituary. There is no law that requires you to publish an obituary or submit any type of obituary in the paper.
Most newspapers charge by line, so the higher the word count, the higher the price. However, families and loved ones can save money by looking into online options. Publishing an online obituary costs between $50 and $100 and allows for more opportunities to share it through email and social media.
The cost of a newspaper obituary depends on the size of the newspaper's circulation, whether there's a photo, the number of days it will run, and the size of the obituary. Small towns may charge $50, but on average expect to pay at least $250 for the typical short obituary.
The Asheville Citizen Times. Canceling the account will end online access and print delivery on your next available stop date. The full amount of any balance over $10.00 will be returned. We do not provide refunds prorated for the remainder of the payment period for Digital Only subscriptions.
Where can bodies be buried in North Carolina? Most bodies are buried in established cemeteries, but there are no state laws in North Carolina that prohibit burial on private property.
Posting an obituary is not a legal requirement and is a sentimental action. Families don't have to publish one if they don't want it or do not have the funds to do so. While you do not have to share a death note or obituary, you must file a death certificate with your state's office.
Reasons a Family Might Not Want to Write an Obituary
Some may feel that it is too personal or private to share with the public, while others may not have the financial means to pay for its publication. Additionally, some families may prefer to grieve privately and not draw attention to the death.
Most newspapers will have links on their websites directing people to submit a paid death notice, usually under the heading “Obituaries” or “Obits.” While some newspapers manage their own obituary submission and management processes, many newspapers work with the obituary and death notice website Legacy.com.
